July  18,  1918. 

Pacific  Coast  Publishing  Company, 

560  Mission  Street, 

San  Francisco,  California. 

Gentlemen : 

The  recipes  in  The  Bride's  Cook  Book  have  been 
carefully  examined  by  the  Home  Economics  Depart- 
ment of  the  United  States  Food  Administration  for 
California  and  found  to  be  in  accordance  with  its 
rulings. 

By  following  the  Wheatless  and  Sugarless  recipes 
contained  therein  the  Housewife  is  performing  a 
patriotic  duty  in  the  conserving  of  Food  so  necessary 
for  our  Allies  and  armies  abroad. 

Great  appreciation  is  given  to  the  publishers  of 
the  book  for  its  construction  along  the  line  of  Food 
Conservation. 

Yours  verly  truly, 

UNITED   STATES   FOOD   ADMINISTRATION 
FOR  CALIFORNIA 

(Signed)  FREDERICK  O'BRIEN, 

Director  of  Education.

Straight  Facts 
About  Diamonds 

BY  ALBERT  S.  SAMUELS 

895  Market  Street 

San  Francisco 

THERE  are  so  many  grades  of  color  and  quality 
in  diamonds  that  nobody  except  an  expert  can 
judge  their  value  accurately. 

To  insure  our  customers  against  the  purchase  of 
diamonds  of  inferior  quality  and  color  we  handle 
only  one  grade — the  finest  of  "blue-white."  When 
you  select  a  diamond  here,  regardless  of  size, 
whether  you  pay  $50  or  $500,  you  are  sure  of  a  bril- 
liant, fiery  blue-white  stone. 

For  further  protection  we  give  a  written  guar- 
antee— a  "money-back"  bond  offering  to  refund  in 
cash  90  per  cent  of  the  purchase  price  if  expert 
examination  later  influences  you  to  return  it.  That's 
the  way  we  sell  diamonds.

To  Make  Coffee  'Vood"— Use  Good  Coffee 


HAVE  COFFEE  POT  THOROUGHLY  CLEANED  DAILY. 
USB  A  TABLESPOONFUL  COFFEE  FOR  EACH  CUP  AND  ONE  FOR  THE  POT. 

Follow  any  one  of  these 

THREE  METHODS 

Boiling  or  Brewing  Method — A 

Use  coffee  ground  medium.  Pour  boiling  water  on  required 
amount  of  coffee  in  order  to  bring  out  the  richness  and 
strength.    Let  simmer  slowly  for  fifteen  minutes. 

Percolating  Method — B 

Use  finely  ground  coffee.  After  the  water  begins  bubbling 
over  the  coffee  let  continue  so,  percolating  slowly  from 
fifteen  to  twenty  minutes  until  the  rich,  brown  color  and 
strength  of  the  coffee  are  finally  brought  out. 

^  Filtration  Method — C 

Place  coffee,  ground  very  finely  or  pulverized,  in  bag  sus- 
pended in  coee  pot  and  pass  the  required  amount  of  boil- 
ing water. 

The  filtration  method  is  the  quickest  way  to  make  coffee 
but  a  great  deal  of  care  must  be  given  to  the  bag.  It 
should  at  all  times  be  kept  absolutely  clean  and  sweet.  A 
good  method  to  adopt  is  to  start  with  a  new  bag  every 

Sunday  morning  and  immediately  after  using  the  bag  should  be  thoroughly 

cleaned  in  hot  water  and  kept  in  a  jar  of  fresh,  cold  water. 

Do  not  use  soap  in  cleaning  the  bag. 

N.  B. — Boiling  water  must  be  212  o. 

Keep  the  brew  hot.     Chilling  the  brew  destroys  the  affiliation  of  oils  and 

water  and  therefore  the  flavor. 


Our  steel  cut  process  used  in  grinding  coffee  eliminates  the  hitter  chaff, 

and  the  result  is

Housekeeping  Notes 


CLEANING  THE  HOUSE 

CARE  OF  THE  KITCHEN  FLOOR.  A  linoleum  covered  floor  is  the 
most  easily  kept  clean.  The  hardwood  floor  is  the  next  best.  Any- 
thing spilled  should  be  wiped  up  at  once.  Grease-spots  on  wood  or 
stone  should  be  covered  with  flour,  starch,  or  powdered  chalk  to 
absorb  the  grease.  Or  if  you  pour  cold  water  on  the  grease  as  soon  as 
it  is  spilled,  to  harden  it,  the  greater  part  may  then  be  scraped  off. 
Sweep  the  floor  thoroughly  once  a  day.  With  care  it  will  not  need 
washing  or  scrubbing  oftener  than  once  a  week. 

SWEEPING.  In  sweeping  a  kitchen,  be  sure  to  see  that  no  food  is  left 
uncovered  in  the  room.  Sweep  from  the  edge  of  the  room  toward  the 
center.  Sweep  with  short  strokes,  and  keep  the  broom  close  to  the 
floor.  Turn  it  edgewise  to  clean  cracks.  Gather  the  dust  in  one  spot 
and  take  it  up  with  a  short  broom  and  a  dust-pan.  If  possible,  burn 
the  dust  at  once.    Never  sweep  from  one  room  to  another. 

DUSTING.  After  sweeping  a  room,  dust  the  woodwork,  furniture,  and 
movable  articles  with  a  soft  cotton  cloth.  Spread  the  cloth  out  and 
gather  the  dust  into  it,  folding  it  in  as  you  work.  Shake  it  frequently 
out  of  the  window.  In  the  kitchen  where  there  are  no  delicate  articles 
to  be  injured  by  moisture,  use  a  damp  cloth.  When  the  room  has 
been  dusted,  wash  the  cloth  and  hang  it  to  dry. 

SCRUBBING  A  FLOOR.  Always  sweep  a  floor  before  washing  or 
scrubbing  it.  Provide  two  pails  of  cold  or  lukewarm  water,  a  stiff 
scrubbing  brush,  a  large  soft  (but  not  linty)  cloth  and  any  good  scour- 
ing soap.  Dip  the  brush  in  water,  and  then  rub  it  with  sapolio.  Look 
for  grease  spots  and  take  them  out  first.  After  the  floor  has  become 
wet  you  cannot  see  where  they  are.  Scrub  with  the  grain  of  the  wood, 
doing  a  few  square  feet  at  a  time.  Dip  the  cloth  in  clean  water,  and 
wash  the  part  that  has  been  scrubbed.  Use  no  more  water  than  you 
need.  Wet  the  cloth  again,  wring  it  as  dry  as  you  can,  and  wipe  the 
floor.    Proceed  in  this  way  until  the  whole  floor  has  been  changed. 

CARE  OF  HARDWOOD  FLOOR.  Never  use  water  on  a  hardwood 
floor.  Wipe  it  with  a  cloth  moistened  with  a  very  little  kerosene — a 
teaspoonful  or  two  to  begii^  with,  and  as  much  more  when  that  has 
evaporated.  Rub  hard  with  another  cloth  until  the  wood  is  perfectly 
dry.  Window  sills  and  all  hardwood  finish  should  be  cleaned  in  the 
same  way. 

CARE  OF  OIL-CLOTH.  Wash  oil-cloth  with  warm  water  and  milk. 
Use  one  cupful  of  skim  milk  to  one  gallon  of  water.  Wipe  dry  with  a 
clean  cloth. 

CLEANING  PAINT.  Take  a  little  whiting  on  a  clean,  damp  cloth,  and 
rub  it  on  the  surface  to  be  cleaned.  Take  care  not  to  let  drops  of 
water  trickle  down  the  paint.    Wash  off  with  a  second  cloth  and  clean

water.    Wipe  dry  with  a  third  cloth.    Clean  a  little  at  a  time,  leaving 
the  cleaned  part  dry  before  going  on. 

CARE  OF  SINK.  Neglect  of  sink  causes  bad  odors  and  attracts  water- 
bugs  and  roaches.  Keep  it  at  all  times  free  from  scraps.  When  the 
dishes  have  been  washed,  scour  it  with  a  good  scouring  soap.  Wipe 
the  woodwork  and  tiling.  Wash  strainer,  soap-dish,  and  other  sink 
utensils.  Wash  the  cloth.  Scrub  the  draining-board  and  rinse  the 
sink.  If  it  is  of  iron  and  is  to  be  left  for  several  hours,  wipe  it  dry. 
If  rusty,  use  kerosene,  or  grease  it  with  mutton-fat  or  lard,  sprinkle 
with  lime,  and  leave  over  night. 

CARE  OF  FAUCETS.  Clean  brass  faucets  with  flannel  dipped  in  vine- 
gar or  lemon  juice  and  rub  thoroughly  with  rottenstone  and  oil,  then 
polish  with  a  dry  cloth,  or  apply  putz  pomade  or  some  similar  prep- 
aration; rub  it  off  with  another  cloth,  and  polish  with  a  third  one. 
If  the  faucets  are  greasy,  wash  them  with  soap-suds  or  sal-soda  solu- 
tion before  using  anything  else.  Nickel  faucets  and  trimmings  need 
only  to  be  wiped. 

DISH  WASHING 

PREPARATION.  Collect  all  dishes  to  be  washed.  Save  time  and  steps 
in  clearing  off  by  using  a  tray  to  carry  dishes  from  table  to  sink.  (A 
table  on  casters  will  do  instead  of  the  tray.)  As  you  take  the  dishes 
from  the  table,  scrape  and  stack  them  on  the  tray.  Wheel  it  to  the 
sink  and  remove  the  dishes  from  it  directly  to  the  dishpan.  Put  scraps 
in  an  earthenware  or  enamelled  dish.  Frying-pans  and  other  greasy 
dishes  should  be  wiped  with  pieces  of  soft  paper.  This  paper  may  be 
used  for  kindling.  Or  fill  them  with  hot  water  to  which  a  teaspoonful 
of  sal-soda  has  been  added,  and  let  them  stand.  Dishes  that  have  con- 
tained batter,  dough,  eggs  or  any  starchy  material  should  be  soaked  in 
cold  water ;  dishes  that  have  been  used  to  cook  sugar  should  be  soaked 
in  hot  water.  Put  all  dishes  of  a  kind  together ;  plates  in  piles,  knives, 
forks,  and  spoons,  laid  with  handles  one  way,  etc.  Place  nearest  to 
you  the  dishes  to  be  washed  first.  Have  a  clean  dry  place  for  clean 
dishes.    Make  ready  two  pans,  or  one  if  there  is  a  draining-board. 

WASHING.  Wash  the  dishes  in  the  following  order:  1,  glassware; 
2,  silver ;  3,  cups  and  saucers ;  4,  plates ;  5,  larger  dishes ;  6,  the  cleaner 
articles  of  kitchenware ;  7,  large  utensils.  This  order  may  have  to  be 
varied  to  your  circumstances.  If  you  have  hot  water  at  hand  con- 
stantly, the  kitfhen  utensils  may  be  washed  and  put  away  first,  or  as 
fast  as  they  are  used.  Dish-washing  need  not  be  an  unpleasant  task 
if  these  rules  are  observed:  1,  use  hot  soapy  water;  2,  change  the 
water  frequently;  3,  have  the  dishes  free  from  crumbs  and  scraps 
before  beginning  to  wash  them.  Wash  all  dishes,  inside  and  out,  in 
soapy  water ;  rinse  in  clear  hot  water,  drain  and  wipe  dry.  Use  scour- 
ing soap  or  cleaning  powder  to  remove  food  that  sticks  or  is  burnt  on. 
Use  a  wire  dishcloth  on  ironware,  a  scrubbing-brush,  if  necessary,  on 
enamelled  ware,  tinware,  and  wire  strainers.  Clean  seams  in  tinware 
and  enamelled  ware  with  a  wooden  skewer.

SPECIAL  INSTRUCTIONS.  Do  not  put  knife-handles  in  water.  Water 
discolors  and  cracks  ivory  and  bone  handles,  and  may  loosen  wooden 
ones.  After  washing  knives,  scour  them  with  bath  brick.  Do  not 
wash  bread-board  or  rolling-pin  at  an  iron  sink.  The  iron  will  leave 
marks  on  them.  Wash  them  at  the  table.  Be  careful  noi  to  wet  the 
cogs  of  a  Dover  egg-beater.  Wash  the  lower  part,  and  wipe  off  the 
handles  with  a  damp  cloth.  Water  washes  the  oil  from  the  cogs, 
making  the  beater  hard  to  turn.  Dry  the  seams  of  a  double-boiler 
carefully.  Do  not  waste  time  polishing  tins.  It  is  sufficient  to  have 
them  clean  and  dry.  Dip  glasses  into  hot  Water,  so  that  they  will 
be  wet  inside  and  outside  at  the  same  time.  Silver  and  glass  are 
brightest  if  wiped  directly  from  clean,  hot  suds,  without  being  rinsed. 
A  damp  towel  makes  dull  spoons  and  glasses.  Scald,  i.  e.,  rinse  with 
boiling  water,  all  vessels  that  have  contained  milk.  Wash  teapot  and 
coffee-pot  in  clean  hot  water  without  soap,  and  wipe  dry.  Clean  the 
spout  carefully.  Let  them  stand  for  awhile  with  covers  off.  Wash 
dishpan  and  rinsing-pan,  and  wipe  dry  with  a  towel,  not  with  the  dish- 
cloth. Where  running  hot  water  is  plentiful,  time  and  towels  can  be 
saved  by  placing  the  dishes  as  they  are  washed  in  a  wire  rack,  rinsing 
them  with  very  hot  water,  and  letting  them  drain.  It  is  best,  if  possi- 
ble, to  set  the  rack  of  dishes  for  a  minute  into  a  pan  or  sink  full  of 
scalding  hot  water.  Wipe  glasses  and  silver.  China  and  other  ware 
will  need  only  a  polish  with  towel  or  strip  of  paper  towelling.  For 
success  with  this  method,  the  dishes  must  be  washed  in  clean  hot 
suds,  and  rinsed  quickly.  If  washed  in  greasy  water,  or  allowed  to 
cool  before  being  rinsed,  they  will  not  dry  clean.  Caution:  gold- 
decorated  china  should  not  be  washed  in  this  way.  Very  hot  water 
may  injure  it. 

REMOVAL  OF  TARNISH.  Acids  dissolve  tarnish.  Oxalic  acid,  lemon- 
juice,  and  vinegar  may  be  used.  But,  except  for  spots,  it  is  best  to  rely 
mostly  upon  powders  in  cleaning  metals.  A  chemical  that  removes 
the  tarnish  may  attack  the  metal.  For  example,  any  chemical  that 
brightens  zinc,  eats  into  it.  If  acid  is  used  on  any  metal,  all  traces  of 
it  must  be  removed  by  rubbing  with  powder,  or  the  tarnish  will  quickly 
reappear.  Oil  or  water,  mixed  with  the  powder,  forms  a  paste  easy  to 
apply.    Use  chamois-skin  or  soft  cloth  for  polishing. 

TO  SCOUR  STEEL  KNIVES.  Scrape  off  a  little  bath  brick  with  the 
back  of  the  knife  or  with  an  old  knife.  Dip  a  cork  in  water  or  oil, 
and  then  in  the  brick-dust.  Hold  the  knife  firmly,  with  the  blade  rest- 
ing flat  upon  a  level  surface,  and  rub  both  sides  of  the  blade  with  the 
cork.  Wash  the  knife.  Scour  steel  forks  in  the  same  way.  Never 
scour  silver-plated  knives  or  forks. 

CARE  OF  ALUMINUM  WARE.  Aluminum  should  not  be  used  for 
vegetables  with  strong  acid  or  for  boiling  eggs.  These  discolor  it. 
Otherwise  it  needs  little  care.  Never  use  soda  on  aluminum.  Before 
using  any  polish  fill  with  water  and  bring  to  a  boil.  For  bad  stains 
use  oxalic  acid  diluted,  one  teaspoonful  of  acid  to  two  quarts  of  water. 
If  the  stain  still  remains,  rub  with  a  damp  cloth  dipped  in  whiting  or 
Dutch  cleanser.

BRIDE'S     COOK    BOOK 

TO  CLEAN  SILVERWARE.  The  quickest  way  to  brighten  silver  is  by 
electroylsis,  that  is,  by  decomposing  the  tarnish  by  electricity.  One 
device  for  this  purpose  is  an  aluminurn  pan  with  cross-bars  of  tin  on 
the  bottom.  Fill  the  pan  with  water,  and  for  every  quart  dissolve  in  it 
one  teaspoonful  of  baking-soda  and  one  tablespoonful  of  salt.  The 
silver  must  rest  on  the  bars  and  be  covered  with  the  solution.  A  mild 
current  of  electricity  is  set  up  which  causes  the  tarnish  quickly  to  dis- 
appear. No  rubbing  is  needed,  but  embossed  silver  may  need  brushing 
to  loosen  the  tarnish.  Rinse  in  clear  water,  and  wipe  dry  with  a  soft 
cloth.  The  old  way  is  to  moisten  a  soft  cloth  with  water  or  alcohol, 
dip  it  in  fine  whiting,  and  apply  to  the  silver.  When  the  whiting  has 
dried,  rub  it  off  with  another  soft  cloth,  and  polish  with  chamois-skin. 
To  cleanse  chasing  or  ornamental  work,  use  an  old  tooth-brush.  Rub 
egg-stained  spoons  and  other  badly  tarnished  articles  with  salt  before 
washing  them.  The  tarnish  is  not  soluble,  but  with  the  chlorine  in 
the  salt  it  forms  a  soluble  compound.  Powders  or  cakes  sold  by  silver- 
smiths are  good.  Patent  powders  and  polishes  often  remove  some  of 
the  silver. 

REMOVAL  OF  STAINS. 

BLOOD.  Saturate  the  stained  part  with  kerosene  oil  and  then  dip  in  boil- 
ing water. 

CHOCOLATE.  L  Stretch  the  stained  part  over  a  bowl  and  pour  boiling 
water  through  it.  2.  Rub  with  pure  glycerine,  then  wash  in  soft 
water.    Do  not  use  soap,  as  this  will  fix  the  stain. 

COFFEE.     Proceed  as  for  Chocolate. 

CANDLE  WAX  (COLORED).  Place  blotting  paper,  French  chalk  or 
white  talcum  powder  on  each  side  of  stain  and  apply  a  warm  iron. 
Brush  out  chalk  or  powder  and  remove  color  by  sponging  with  alcohol 
or  ether. 

FRUIT.  Use  boiling  water  and  salts  of  lemon,  or  boiling  water  and  oxalic 
acid.     Pour  through  stained  part  which  is  stretched  over  a  bowl. 

GRASS.  1.  Soak  the  stain  in  alcohol  and  rub.  2.  Wet  with  cold  water 
and  rub  cream  of  tartar  in  well,  then  wash  out. 

GREASE.  Stretch  stained  part  over  a  firm  pad  of  towelling  or  other 
absorbent  goods  and  rub  with  any  of  the  following  applied  with  woolen 
cloth :    Turpentine,  benzine,  ether  or  chloroform. 

INK.  Dampen  in  cold  water,  dip  in  a  solution  of  boiling  Oxalic  acid  (two 
teaspoonfuls  oxalic  acid  in  one  glass  of  water),  rinse  and  wash  in  soap 
solution. 

IRON  RUST.  Moisten  stain  with  ammonia,  then  apply  salts  of  lemon 
or  oxalic  acid ;  ^fter  effervescence  appears,  dip  in  boiling  water. 

MUCUS  (HANDKERCHIEFS).  Soak  in  salt  water  (two  tablespoonfuls 
to  one  quart  water),  wash  out  and  boil. 

18 


BRIDE'S     COOK     BOOK 

MACHINE  OIL.  1.  Soak  in  cold  water,  then  wash  out  with  soap. 
2.  Soak  in  cold  water  and  borax,  then  wash. 

MEAT  JUICE.     Proceed  as  for  blood. 

MILK.     Wash  in  cold  water,  then  warm  water  and  soap. 

PERSPIRATION.  Immerse  in  soap  solution  and  set  in  sunshine  for  sev- 
eral hours. 

SCORCH.     Soft  water  and  strong  sunshine  will  remove  a  slight  scorch. 

SHOE  STAINS  ON  WHITE  STOCKINGS.  Soak  in  a  solution  of  oxalic 
acid,  then  wash  out  in  ammonia  water. 

TEA.  Cover  stain  with  common  salt,  cover  with  lemon  juice  and  set  in 
sunshine. 

VASELINE.  Place  two  thicknesses  of  blotting  paper  beneath  stain,  and 
moisten  with  benzine.  Cover  with  two  thicknesses  of  blotting  p'aper 
and  press  with  a  warm — not  hot — iron.  Use  care  in  working  with 
benzine  as  it  is  inflammable. 

EGG.  Cold  water  followed  by  hot  water  and  soap  as  in  ordinary  launder- 
ing. 

ICE  CREAM.  Sponge  the  stains  thoroughly  with  water,  followed  by 
agents  used  in  removing  grease  spots. 

IODINE.  Unstarched  Materials:  Sponge  the  stain  with  diluted  am- 
monia. Then  sponge  with  alcohol.  Starched  Materials:  Soak  the 
stains  in  diluted  ammonia  until  they  disappear,  or  boil  the  stained 
material  for  five  or  ten  minutes. 

LEATHER.  Use  an  abundance  of  soap  with  thorough  rubbing  and  pro- 
ceed as  in  ordinary  laundering. 

PAINTS.  Sponge  the  stains  with  pure  turpentine.  If  stains  are  not  fresh, 
soften  by  moistening  with  ammonia  and  sprinkling  with  turpentine. 
Roll  articles  up  for  fifteen  minutes,  then  wash  in  warm  water  and 
soap. 

WATER  COLOR.     Dip  stained  portion  in  gasoline  and  rub  vigorously. 

SALAD  DRESSING.     Soap  and  luke  warm  water  for  washable  materials. 

SOOT.  First  brush  the  stain,  then  place  on  absorbent  powders  such  as 
Fuller's  earth,  French  chalk,  cornstarch,  corn  meal  or  salt;  work 
around  until  they  become  soiled  and  brush  them  away.  Then  wash 
or  sponge  the  stain. 

TOMATO  STAIN.  Wash  stains  carefully,  then  moisten  with  lemon 
juice  and  expose  to  sun  for  several  days.  Sponge  the  stain  with  alco- 
hol which  removes  the  green  part  of  the  stain.  This  is  good  for  stains 
on  wool  or  silk.

RULES  FOR  HOUSEHOLDERS. 

The  United  States  Food  Administration  asks  you  to  comply  strictly 
with  the  following  rules. 

Owing  to  the  constant  changes  in  the  Food  situation  these  rules  must 
be  revised  from  time  to  time.  You  are  requested  to  note  such  revisions 
in  the  daily  press,  and  to  conform  to  them. 

The  recipes  and  directions  contained  in  this  book  have  been  compiled 
for  the  purpose  of  helping  you  to  conform  to  these  new  food  situations 
patriotically  and  easily. 

ALL  KINDS  OF  FOOD  SHOULD  BE  ECONOMICALLY  USED. 

HOARDING:  NO  FOOD  SHOULD  BE  HOARDED.    Hoarding  is 

the  holding,  contracting  or  arranging  for  food  by  any  per- 
son in  excess  of  his  reasonable  requirements  for  use  or 
consumption  by  himself  and  dependents  for  a  reasonable 
time.  This  does  not  refer  to  stocks  of  home  grown  vege- 
tables and  home  canned  or  preserved  fruits. 
WHEAT:  All  householders  who  can  possibly  do  so  should  entire- 

ly ELIMINATE  THE  USE  OF  WHEAT. 

Householders  who  are  obliged  to  use  wheat  should  not 
use  more  than  a  total  of  I1/2  pounds  of  wheat  flour  or 
prepared  wheat,  in  any  form,  per  person  per  week.  This 
includes  wheat  flour  in  Victory  Bread,  and  the  wheat 
flour  or  prepared  wheat  in  crackers,  pastry,  macaroni, 
breakfast  or  other  foods. 

Victory  Bread  is  bread  manufactured  by  bakers  under 
the  rules  of  the  United  States  Food  Administration.  In 
estimating  flour  consumption,  1^  pounds  of  Victory 
Bread  may  be  considered  equal  to  1  pound  of  wheat  flour. 

In  buying  wheat  flour  an  equal  weight  of  other  cereals 
as  substitutes  for  wHeat  flour  must  be  bought  pound  for 
pound.  This  is  the  50-50  Rule.  In  buying  mixed  flours, 
the  substitutes  in  them  may  be  counted  so  that  a  smaller 
proportion  of  substitutes  may  be  bought  with  these  flours 
than  with  white  flour.  In  buying  graham  and  whole 
wheat  flours  (containing  not  less  than  95  per  cent  of  the 
entire  wheat)  6/10  pounds  of  substitutes  shall  be  pur- 
chased with  every  pound  of  such  flours. 

WHEAT  FLOUR  SUBSTITUTES  are  HOMINY, 
CORN  GRITS,  CORNMEAL,  CORN  FLOUR,  EDI- 
BLE CORNSTARCH,  BARLEY  FLOUR,  ROLLED 
OATS,  OATMEAL,  RICE,  RICE  FLOUR,  BUCK- 
WHEAT FLOUR,  POTATO  FLOUR,  SWEET 
POTATO  FLOUR,  SOYA  BEAN  FLOUR,  AND 
FETERITA  FLOUR  AND  MEALS. 

Householders  in  towns  and  cities  may  not  buy  more 
than  ^  of  a  barrel  of  flour  at  any  one  time.  Householders 
in  the  country  may  not  buy  more  than  ^  of  a  barrel  of 
flour  at  any  one  time.

SPANISH  BEANS. 

Soak  two  large  cups  pink  beans  over  night.  Put  them  on  to  boil  with  one 
can  WINTO  CONDENSED  TOMATOES,  two  quarts  water,  one  large  onion 
sliced,  a  piece  of  salt  pork  about  one  inch  thick,  or  a  small  cup  of  olive  oil,  one 
teaspoon  chili  powder,  a  dash  of  red  pepper,  and  salt  to  taste.  Cook  slowly  for 
several  hours,  adding  more  water  if  necessary.  Stir  occasionally.  When  done, 
add  Vz  cup  grated  cheese.     (Long  cooking  greatly  improves  the  flavor.) 

TOMATO  JELLY  SALAD. 

Dissolve  l^  box  of  gelatine  in  V2  cup  of  cold  water.  Boil  together  for  fifteen 
minutes  %  can  WINTO  CONDENSED  TOMATOES,  3  cups  water,  Vs  onion,  a 
little  celery  or  celery  stock,  %  teaspoon  salt.  Season  also  with  cayenne  pepper, 
sage,  and  thyme  if  desired.  Remove  from  fire,  add  W^.  tablespoons  vinegar,  and 
the  softened  gelatin.  Strain,  and  pour  into  moulds  to  harden.  When  firm,  re- 
move from  moulds  and  serve  on  crisp  lettuce  leaves  with  mayonnaise  or  boiled 
salad  dressing.  When  beginning  to  set,  a  cup  of  chopped  celery  or  green  peas 
may  be  added.     This  amount  makes  about  six  portions.

6.  Use  Condensed  Tomato  in  any  way  in  which  you  would  use  strained 
canned  tomato.  Condensed  Tomato,  however,  is  five  times  the  strength  of  canned 
tomato  and  should  be  diluted  accordingly.

No  wheat  flour  or  prepared  wheat  in  any  form  should 
be  used  for  any  purpose  other  than  human  consumption. 
No  wheat  fit  for  human  consumption  should  be  used  for 
other  purposes. 

SUGAR;  Householders  should  not  use  more  than  y^  pound  of 

sugar  per  person  per  week.  Householders  in  cities  may 
not  buy  more  than  2  pounds  of  sugar  at  any  one  time. 
Householders  in  the  country  may  not  buy  more  than  5 
pounds  of  sugar  at  any  one  time. 

In  addition  to  the  above,  however,  sugar  may  be  used 
for  home  canning,  and  will  be  available  to  the  house- 
holder for  that  purpose  upon  his  signing  a  certificate 
that  such  sugar  is  desired  and  will  be  used  only  for  that 
purpose. 

MEATS :  Meats  of  all  kinds  and  poultry  and  more  particularly 

beef,  should  be  most  economically  used,  eliminating  all 
waste.  Purchases  of  these  products  should  be  restricted 
and  the  quantity  prepared  for  each  meal  reduced. 

Consumption  of  all  meats,  including  poultry,  should 
be  reduced  as  nearly  as  possible  to  2  pounds  per  week  per 
person  over  four  years  of  age. 

MILK:  Fresh   milk   and   milk   in   evaporated   and   condensed 

form,  and  cheese,  may  be  liberally  used. 

BUTTER:  Butter  may  be  used  for  normal  consumption. 

ICE:  No  more  ice  should  be  used  than  is  absolutely  neces- 

,  sary.

GUIDE  FOR  MENU  MAKING. 

THE  FIVE  FOOD  GROUPS.  Study  them.  Every  food  you  eat  may 
be  put  into  one  of  these  groups.  Each  one  serves  a  special  purpose  in 
nourishing  your  body.    You  should  eat  some  food  from  each  group  daily. 

GROUP  I.  VEGETABLES    AND    FRUITS.      Eat    these    freely. 

They  contain  mineral  matter,  vegetable  acids,  and  body- 
regulating  substances  necessary  to  health.  Eat  them  when 
they  are  in  season.  Eat  local  products.  They  are  cheaper 
and  fresher. 

GROUP  IL  MEAT    AND    MEAT    SUBSTITUTES.      They   help 

build  up  the  growing  body  and  renew  used-up  parts.     Ex- 
cept in  the  case  of  milk,  which  should  be  used  in  large 
quantities  for  children,  the  amount  required  is  not  large. 
The  United   States   Food  Administration  asks  you  to 
Save — pork,  ham,  bacon,  beef,  and  mutton. 
USE — milk,  eggs,  fish,  cheese,  nuts,  beans,  peas,  pea- 
nuts, soya  beans,  poultry  and  game. 

GROUP  III.  CEREALS  AND  OTHER  STARCHES.    These  act  as 

fuel  to  keep  you  warm  and  to  let  you  do  work.    They  also

give  your  body  some  building  material.  They  are  the  most 
economical  fuel  foods. 

The  United   States  Food  Administration  asks  you  to 
Save — wheat,  whole  wheat,  graham,  rye,  white  breads. 
Victory   breads,    crackers,    wheat   breakfast   foods,   wheat 
pancake  flour,  white  flour  cakes,  macaroni. 

US]£ — corn,  barley,  rice,  oats,  hominy,  soy  bean  prod- 
ucts, 100  per  cent  substitute  breads,  cornstarch,  tapioca, 
Irish  potatoes,  sweet  potatoes. 

GROUP  IV.  SUGAR,  SYRUPS,  JELLY,  HONEY,  etc.  These  foods 

supply  fuel  to  the  body,  and  add  flavor  to  foods.  They  are, 
however,  used  in  much  too  large  quantities.  Sweet  fruits 
contain  much  sugar  and  are  better  for  us  than  candy. 

The  United   States   Food  Administration  asks  you  to 

Save — cane  sugar,  brown  sugar,  beet  sugar. 

USE — molasses,  syrups,  honey,  preserved  fruits,  jellies, 
jams,  maple  sugar,  grape  sugar,  corn  sugar,  corn  syrup,  and 
maple  syrup. 

Use  also  the  natural  sugars  found  in  raisins,  figs,  dates, 
prunes,  dried  fruits  and  cocoanuts. 

GROUP  V.  FATS.      Fat   is   fuel.     It   is   needed   by   hard-working 

people.  Remember  that  expensive  fats  are  no  better  fuel 
than  cheap  ones.  Use  drippings.  Don't  let  the  butcher 
keep  the  trimmings  from  your  meat.  They  belong  to  you. 
Children  need  butter  fat.  Give  it  to  them  in  plenty  of 
whole  milk  or  in  butter.  v 

The  United   States   Food  Administration  asks  you  to 
Save — animal  fats  (bacon,  ham,  salt  pork,  lard). 
USE — vegetable  fats,  (olive  oil,  corn  oil,  cottonseed  oil, 
oleomargarine,  etc.).    Fats  trimmed  from  meats,  drippings, 
top  milk  for  cream,  and  butter  in  moderation. 

THE  SERVING  OF  WINES. 

Appetizer — Dry,  pale  sherry,  .plain  or  with  a  dash  of  bitters;  ver- 
mouth ;  or  a  cocktail. 

With  Oysters — Rhine  wine.  Moselle,  dry  Sauternes,  Chablis,  or  Capri 
(cool). 

With  Soups — Sherry  or  Madeira  (cool). 

With  Fish — Sauternes,  Chablis,  Rhine  wine,  Mouselle  or  Capri  (cool). 

With  Entrees — Claret  or  Chianti  (temperature  of  room). 

With  Roast — Claret,  Burgundy  or  Chianti  (temperature  of  room). 

With  Game — Champagne  (cold),  old  vintage  champagne  (cool). 

With  Pastry — Madeira  (cool). 

With  Cheese — Port  (temperature  of  room). 

With  Fruit — Tokay,  Malaga  or  Muscat  (temperature  of  room). 

With  Coffee — Brandy  or  Cordial  (temperature  of  room). 

If  you  do  not  wish  to  serve  such  a  variety,  use  the  following,  viz. : 
Either  Sherry,  or  Sherry  and  Bitters,  A^ermouth,  or  a  cocktail  as  an  appe- 
tizer ;  either  Rhine  wine.  Moselle,  Sauternes,  Chablis  or  Capri  with  oysters 
and  fish.   .

DIRECTIONS  FOR  FOLLOWING  RECIPES. 

HOW  TO  MEASURE. 

Correct  measurements  are  absolutely  essential  to  obtain  good  results. 
Good  judgment,  with  experience,  has  taught  some  to  measure  by  sight; 
but  the  majority  of  people  need  definite  guides. 

Tin,  granite-ware,  and  glass  measuring-cups,  divided  in  quarters  or 
thirds,  holding  one  half-pint,  and  tea-  and  tablespoons  of  regulation  sizes,— 
and  a  case  knife,  are  necessary  for  correct  measurements. 

MEASURING  DRY  INGREDIENTS. 

A  tablespoonful  is  measured  level.  A  teaspoonful  is  measured  level. 
A  cupful  is  measured  level.  To  measure  tea-  or  tablespoonful,  dip  the  spoon 
in  the  ingredient,  fill,  lift,  and  level  with  a  knife,  the  sharp  edge  of  knife 
being  toward  tip  of  spoon.  Divide  with  knife  lengthwise  of  spoon,  for  a 
half-spoonful ;  divide  halves  crosswise  for  quarters,  and  quarters  crosswise 
for  eighths.  Less  than  one-eighth  of  a  teaspoonful  is  considered  a  few 
grains.  To  measure  a  cupful  put  in  the  ingredient  by  spoonfuls  or  from  a 
scoop,  round  slightly,  and  level  with  a  case  knife,  care  being  taken  not  to 
shake  the  cup. 

Flour,  meal,  powdered  and  confectioners'  sugar,  and  soda  should  be 
sifted  before  measuring.  Mustard  and  baking  powder,  from  standing  in 
boxes,  settle,  therefore  should  be  stirred  to  lighten;  salt  frequently  lumps, 
and  these  lumps  should  be  broken. 

MEASURING  LIQUIDS. 

A  cupful  of  liquid  is  all  the  cup  will  hold. 

A  tea  or  tablespoonful  is  all  that  a  teaspoon  or  tablespoon  will  hold. 

MEASURING  BUTTER,  LARD,  ETC. 

To  measure  butter,  lard,  and  other  solid  fats,  pack  solidly  into  cup 
or  spoon,  and  level  with  a  knife. 

When  dry  ingredients,  liquids,  and  fats  are  called  for  in  the  same 
recipe,  measure  in  the  order  given,  thereby  using  but  one  cup. 

3  teaspoonfuls  equal 1  tablespoonful 

16  tablespoonfuls  of  any  dry  ingredient  equals 1  cupful 

12  tablespoonfuls  of  any  liquid  equals 1  cupful 

2  cupfuls  of  any  liquid  equals  1  pint 

4  cupfuls  of  any  liquid  equals  1  quart

BEATEN  YEAST  BREADS 

CORN  BREAD 

V/2  Cups  Barley  Flour 
1  Cup  Corn  Meal 
1  Yeast  Cake 
Ys  Cup   Boiling  Water 

1  Egg 

2  Tablespoons  Syrup 
2  Teaspoons  Salt 

Directions:  Pour  the  boiling  water 
over  the  corn  meal  and  allow  to  cool. 
Add  yeast  cake,  broken  and  dissolved,  in 
a  few  tablespoons  of  lukewarm  water. 
Then  add  the  egg  slightly  beaten,  the 
syrup  and  the  salt.  Beat  well.  Put  in  a 
greased  bread  pan,  and  when  double  its 
bulk  bake  in  a  moderate  oven — ^^15  min- 
utes. 


OAT  BREAD 

1  Cup  Rolled  Oats 

2  Cups   Barley   Flour 
1  Cup  Corn  Meal 

1  Yeast  Cake 

1  Egg 

%  Cup  Boiling  Water 
1'/4  Cups  Milk 

2  Tablespoons  Syrup 
2  Teaspoons  Salt 

Directions:  Scald  corn  meal  with  boil- 
ing water.  W,hen  cool  add  yeast  cake 
dissolved  in  a  few  tablespoons  of  luke- 
warm water.  Add  the  other  ingredients, 
leaving  the  rolled  oats  until  the  last.  Mix 
well.  Put  in  greased  pan  and  when 
double  its  bulk  bake  in  moderate  oven — 
IS  minutes. 

Note:  Oat  flour  or  ground  rolled  oats 
may  be  used  in  place  of  rolled  oats,  if  a 
less  coarse  bread  is  desired. 

In  making  yeast  breads  without  the  use 
of  wheat  or  rye  flour,  it  is  advisable  that 
the  dough  be  handled  as  little  as  pos- 
sible. Good  results  have  been  obtained 
by  the  use  of  eggs  and  cereals  thickened 
by  scalding.  This  method  is  well  adapted 
to  corn  and  oatmeal,  but  it  gives  a  dough 
too  soft  to  be  kneadett.  In  this  case  the 
fine  grain  may  be  secured  by  beating 
thoroughly. 

When  using  conservation  flours,  the 
smaller  the  loaf  of  bread  is  made  the  bet- 
ter the  result,  so  it  is  advisable  to  bake 
bread  mixtures  whenever  possible  in 
muffin  or  layer  cake  tins. 


KNEADED  YEAST  BREADS 

A  bread  board  is  not  required  for  these 
about  15  minutes. 

breads.  The  dough  is  soft  and  may  be 
cut  down  and  kneaded  in  the  bowl  by 
using  rice  flour  on  the  hands.  These 
breads  are  better  when  baked  in  small 
portions  or  small  loaves. 

It  is  well  to  moisten  the  surface  with 
milk,  or  with  a  mixture  made  by  beating 
the  yolk  or  the  white  of  an  egg  in  one 
tablespoon  of  cold  water.  If  this  is  re- 
peated before  baking  a  smooth  surface 
will  result. 

Stiffly  beaten  whites  of  eggs  folded 
into  the  dough  before  molding  gives  a 
lighter  bread. 

In  some  of  the  following  recipes  the 
dough  is  not  elastic  like  that  of  wheat 
breads  after  the  first  rising.  It  resembles 
a  thick  drop  cake  batter  after  the  last  of 
the  flour  is  added  and  must  be  scraped 
from  the  spoon  into  the  muffin  or  bread 
pans.  It  cannot  be  molded.  Moisten  and 
set  in  a  warm  place  to  rise,  and  the  dough 
will  gradually  take  the  shape  of  the  pans,  ^ 
thicken,  and  rise  to  double  its  bulk. 
When  baked  it  has  the  texture  of  wheat 
bread  and  a  crisp  crust.

Cereal  Foods  and  Flours 


In  a  bulletin  recently  issued  by  the  U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture 
will  be  found  this  statement:  "Cereals  supply  actual  digestible  nutrients 
to  the  body  more  cheaply  than  any  other  class  of  food  except  dried  legumes 
(beans)." 

It  would  follow,  therefore,  that  the  young  housewife  should  know  the 
best  methods  of  preparing  Cereal  Breakfast  Foods.  Before  giving  a  list  of 
recipes  for  accomplishing  the  best  results  with  cereals  and  flours,  the  fol- 
lowing table  is  given  to  show  how  economical  and  valuable  cereals  are. 
Protein  as  used  in  this  table  is  the  most  important  and  most  expensive 
element  in  food.  A  calorie  is  the  amount  of  strength  or  energy  necessary  to 
lift  15  pounds  one  foot  high  200  times. 

Kind  of  Food  Cost  per  Pound      Amount  of  Energy 

of  Protein  in  10c  Worth 

Rolled  Whfat  @  6c $  .68  2505 

Rolled  Oats  @  6c 48  2938 

Flour  @  3^c 35  4700 

QDrn  Flakes  Toasted  @  10c 1.33  1735 

Round  Steak  @  16c 87  560 

Leg  of  Mutton  @  20c 1.37  445 

Roast  Pork  @  12c 92  1035 

Eggs  @  24c 1.39  385 

By  comparing  the  above  figures  it  will  readily  be  seen  that  cereals  fur- 
nish by  far  a  greater  amount  of  nutrients  than  meats.  So  much  so  that 
were  the  source  of  the  facts  other  than  aptual  government  reports  they 
would  not  be  believed.  It  will  be  noticed  also  that  of  the  cereals,  Oats  fur- 
nishes almost  twice  as  much  nourishment  for  the  money  as  parched  Corn 
Flakes. 


SPECIAL  RECIPES  NOT  FOUND  ELSEWHERE  IN  THIS  BOOK. 

Rolled  Oat  Mush 

To  two  parts  of  boiling  water,  salted  to  taste,  slowly  stir  in  one  part 
of  ALBERS  ROLLED  OATS  and  boil  for  ten  to  twenty  minutes,  then 
allow  to  simmer,  stirring  occasionally.  Serve  with  sugar  and  cream. 
Carnation  Rolled  Oats  may  be  used  in  place  of  Albers  Rolled  Oats.  We 
recommend  the  use  of  a  double  boiler,  in  which  case  the  inner  boiler 
should  be  placed  in  the  outer  boiler,  in  which  the  water  is  already  boiling, 
after  the  flakes  have  been  boiling  about  two  minutes.  Cook  in  double 
boiler  ten  or  fifteen  minutes  more,  but  do  not  stir.

1  Tablespoon   Honey 
2-3  Compressed  Yeast  Cake,  or  equivalent 
Buckwheat  Flour 

Dissolve  salt  in  the  lukewarm  water 
until  it  tastes  almost  briny.  Thoroughly 
mix  the  yeast  cake  in  the  water  before 
the  flour  is  added.  Mix  honey  and  add 
the  flour  through  a  sieve.  The  batter 
should  then  be  stirred  or  beaten  a  long 
time.  If  any  batter  is  left,  it  may  be  set 
away  in  a  cool  place,  not  too  tightly  cov- 
ered, to  take  the  place  of  the  yeast  for 
the  next  time. 

When  ready  for  the  next  batch,  add

the  necessary  quantity  of  salted  warm 
water  and  the  honey;  stir  thoroughly, 
and  then  add  the  buckwheat  as^  before. 
It  is  better  to  mix  the  dough  a  little  too 
thick  than  too  thin.  Water  can  be  safely 
added  before  baking,  if  necessary.  If 
the  batter  is  sour  in  the  morning  from 
being  kept  too  warm,  use  a  little  baking 
soda  dissolved  in  warm  water.  The  old 
batter  is  useless  for  yeast  after  the  soda 
treatment. 

Serve  with  honey.

Visit  3  stores  when  buying  Furniture 


Always  visit  3  stores — study,  in  as  critical  a  manner  as  possible,  each 
store's  policy,  each  store's  values,  each  store's  prices.  Tf  Have  each  sales- 
man explain  materials  used;  learn  the  difference  between  the  real  and 
the  "just  as  good";  ask  what  each  store  does  if  you  are  dissatisfied 
at  any  time;  realize  the  difference  between  "painted  pine"  at  $25,  and 
"6-coat  enamel  over  maple"  at  $80 — the  both  may  be  called  "decorated 
ivory."  1|  Then  place  your  order  with  the  store  which  gives  you  the 
best    value,    service    and    satisfaction    for    the    money    you    invest. 


From  the  department  of  Interior 
Decoration  right  through  the  depart- 
ments of  service  we  are  all  here  to  help 
you.  Give  us  a  floor,  four  walls  and  a 
ceiling — and  we  can  transform  it  into 
an  artistic  creation:    a  Home. 


The  Furniture  and  Furnishings  dis- 
played in  this  fine  store-building  are 
dependable  things.  They  are  of  the 
best  class  and  grade  obtainable  in  their 
Tarious  price-categories,  and  mast  give 
"PLEASURE,  in  Comfort  and  Beauty; 
SERVICE,    in    Economy    and    Utility." 


Our  salesmen  are  more  than  "order- 
takers" — they  like  Furniture ;  they  are 
friendly  experts  ;  they  know  the  merch- 
andise they  sell ;  they  know  what  you 
want  that  merchandise  to  be  and  do; 
and  they  courteously  and  helpfully  put 
your  interests  and  your  satisfaction 
'way  ahead  of  the  mere  figures  involved 
in  the  sale. 

Seventy  per  cent  of  our  customers  pay 
cash  ;  thirty  per  cent  use  our  Monthly 
Payment  Plan.  (From  the  customer's 
standpoint  this  plan  is  very  beneficial. 
Having  credit  with  The  John  Breuner 
Co.  helps  you  in  securing  credit  in 
other,  stores,  as  our  recommendation 
means  much.  We  are  always  glad  to 
open  desirable  new  accounts  on  this 
plan.)

TO  FRY  FISH 

After  the  fish  is  well  cleansed,  lay  it 
on  a  folded  towel  and  dry  out  all  the 
water;  when  well  wiped  and  dry,  roll  it 
in  Indian  meal.  Have  a  thick-bottomed 
frying  pan  with  plenty  of  fat  salted  (a 
tablespoonful  of  salt  to  each  pound  of 
lard)  for  fresh  fish  which  have  not  been 
previously  salted;  let  it  become  boiling 
hot,  then  lay  the  fish  in  and  let  it  fry 
gently  until  one  side  is  a  fine,  delicate 
brown,  then  turn  the  other;  when  both 
are  done  take  it  up  carefully  and  serve 
quickly,  or  keep  it  covered  with  a  tin 
cover,  and  set  the  dish  where  it  will  keep 
hot. 

TO  BROIL  FISH 

Rub  the  bars  of  your  gridiron  with 
dripping  or  a  piece  of  beef  suet,  to  pre- 
vent the  fish  from  sticking.  Put  a  good 
piece  of  butter  substitute  into  a  dish, 
enough  salt  and  pepper  to  season  the 
fish.  Lay  the  fish  on  it  when  it  is 
broiled,  and  with  a  knife  put  the  butter 
over  every  part.     Serve  very  hot. 

TO  BAKE  FISH  WHOLE 

No.  I 

Cut  off  the  head  and  split  the  fish 
down  nearly  to  the  tail;  prepare  a  dress- 
ing of  bread,  butter  substitute,  pepper 
and  salt,  moisten  with  a  little  water. 
Fill  the  dish  with  this  dressing,  and  bind 
it  together  with  a  piece  of  string;  lay  the 
fish  on  a  bake-pan  and  pour  round  it  a 
little  water  and  melted  butter  substitute. 
Baste  frequently.  A  good-sized  fish  will 
bake  in  an  hour.  Serve  with  the  gravy  of 
the  fish. 

BAKED  FISH  No.  II 

Take  whatever  fish  may  be  desired  and 
place  in  baking  pan.  Chop  up  a  little 
onion,  garlic,  parsley  and  tomatoes  and 
spread  over  fish;  then  moisten  with  a 
little  olive  oil  and  bake  in  moderate  oven 
for  about  20  minutes.  (This  recipe  will 
be  found  very  good  for  small  sole.  Rex 
sole,  or  sandabs.)  Add  salt  and  pepper 
to  taste. 

BROILED  SALT  MACKEREL 

Freshen  by  soaking  it  over  night  in 
water,    being   careful   that   the   skin   lies 


uppermost.  In  the  morning  dry  it  with- 
out breaking,  cut  off  the  head  and  tip  of 
the  tail,  place  it  between  the  bars  of  a 
greased  fish-gridiron,  and  broil  to  a  light 
brown;  lay  it  on  a  hot  dish,  and  dress 
with  a  little  butter,  pepper,  and  lemon 
juice,  vinegar. 

BROILED  SALMON 

Cut  six  slices  of  salmon,  sprinkle  with 
salt  and  pepper,  dip  in  beaten  eggs  and 
roll  in  corn  meal.  Place  in  a  spider, 
cook  both  sides  quickly.  Drain  and  lay 
them  in  a  dish.  Garnish  them  with  a  few 
pieces  of  lemon  dipped  in  parsley 
chopped  fine  and  some  eggs  fried  in  oil. 

BOILED  SALMON 

Sew  as  many  pounds  as  desired  up  in  a 
cheese-cloth  bag,  and  boil  for  a  quarter 
of  an  hour  to  the  pound,  in  slightly 
salted  water.  When  done,  take  out  and 
lay  upon  a  dish,  being  careful  not  to 
break  the  fish. 

CREAM  SAUCE 

Prepare  a  small  cupful  of  cream  sauce, 
in  which  had  been  stirred  a  teaspoonful 
of  minced  parsley  and  the  juice  of  one- 
fourth  of  a  lemon.  Pour  over  the  salmon 
and  serve.  Garnish  with  parsley.  The 
choicest  portion  of  the  salmon  is  that  at 
the  center  and  toward  the  tail. 

BOILED  HALIBUT 

Purchase  a  thick  slice  cut  through  the 
body,  or  the  tail  piece,  which  is  consid- 
ered the  richest.  Wrap  it  in  a  floured 
cloth  and  lay  it  in  warm  water  with  salt 
in  it.  A  piece  weighing  six  pounds  should 
be  cooked  in  half  an  hour  after  the  water 
begins  to  boil.  Melted  butter  or  butter 
substitute  and  parsley  are  eaten  with  it. 
If  any  is  left,  lay  it  in  a  deep  dish  and 
sprinkle  on  it  a  little  salt,  throw  over  it 
twelve  cloves  in  some  vinegar,  and  it 
will,  when  cold,  have  much  the  flavor  of 
lobster. 

BAKED  BASS 

Make  filling  of  cracker  or  bread 
crumbs,  an  egg,  pepper,  cloves,  salt  and 
butter  substitute.  Fill  very  full,  when 
sewed  up,  grate  over  it  a  small  nutmeg,

HOW  TO  SELECT  POULTRY 

In  selecting  poultry  full-grown  fowls 
have  the  best  flavor,  provided  they  are 
young.  The  age  may  be  determined  by 
turning  the  wing  backward — if  it  yields, 
it  is  tender.  The  same  is  true  if  the  skin 
on  the  leg  is  readily  broken.  Older 
poultry  makes  the  best  soup.  The  in- 
testines should  be  removed  at  once,  but 
frequently  in  shipping  they  are  left  in 
and,  hence,  when  removed,  the  fowl 
needs  washing  in  several  waters.  The 
next  to  the  last  water  should  contain  a 
half  teaspoon  of  baking  soda,  which 
sweetens  and  renders  all  more  whole- 
some. The  giblets  are  the  gizzard, 
heart,  liver  and  neck. 


ROAST  TURKEY 

Carefully  pluck  the  bird  and  singe  off 
the  down  with  lighted  paper;  break  the 
leg  bone  close  to  the  foot,  hang  up  the 
bird  and  draw  out  the  strings  of  the 
thigh.  Never  cut  the  breast;  make  a 
small  slit  down  the  back  of  the  neck 
and  take  out  the  crop  that  way,  then  cut 
the  neck  bone  close,  and  after  the  bird 
is  stuffed  the  skin  can  be  turned  over 
the  back  and  the  crop  will  look  full  and 
round.  Cut  around  the  vent,  making  the 
hole  as  small  as  possible,  and  draw 
carefully,  taking  care  that  the  gall  bag 
and  the  intestines  joining  the  gizzard  are 
not  broken.  Open  the  gizzard,  take  out 
the  contents  and  detach  the  liver  from 
the  gall  bladder.  The  liver,  gizzard  and 
heart,  if  used  in  the  gravy,  will  need  to 
be  boiled  an  hour  and  a  half  and  chopped 
as  fine  as  possible.  Wash  the  turkey 
and  wipe  thoroughly  dry,  inside  and  oiit; 
then  fill  the  inside  with  stuffing,  and  sew 
the  skin  of  the  neck  over  the  back.  Sew 
up  the  opening  at  the  vent,  then  run  a 
long  skewer  into  the  pinion  and  thigh 
through  the  body,  passing  it  through  the 
opposite  pinion  and  thigh.  Put  a  skewer 
in  the  small  part  of  the  leg,  close  on  the 
outside  and  push  it  through.  Pass  a 
string  over  the  points  of  the  skewers 
and  tie  it  securely  at  the  back. 


Sprinkle  well  with  barley  flour,  coyer 
the  breast  with  nicely-buttered^  white 
paper,  place  on  a  grating  in  the  dripping- 
pan  and  put  in  the  oven  to  roast.  Baste 
every  fifteen  minutes — a  few  times  with 
butter  and  water,  and  then  with  the 
gravy  in  the  dripping-pan.  Do  not  have 
too  hot  an  oven.  A  turkey  weighing  ten 
pounds  will  require  three  hours  to  bake. 

ROAST  GOOSE 

Get  a  goose  that  is  not  more  than  eight 
months  old,  and  the  fatter  it  is  the  more 
juicy  the  meat.  The  dressing  should  be 
made  of  three  pints  of  bread  crumbs,  six 
ounces  of  butter  substitute,  a  teaspoonful 
each  of  sage,  black  pepper  and  salt  and 
chopped  onions.  Don't  stuff  very  full,  but 
sew  very  closely  so  that  the  fat  will  not 
get  in.  Place  in  a  baking  pan  with  a  little 
water  and  baste  often  with  a  little  salt, 
water  and  vinegar.  Turn  the  goose  fre- 
quently so  that  it  may  be  evenly 
browned.  Bake  about  two  and  one-half 
hours.  When  done,  take  it  from  the 
pan,  drain  off  the  fat  and  add  the 
chopped  giblets,  which  have  previously 
been  boiled  tender,  together  with  the 
water  in  which  they  were  done.  Thicken 
with  barley  flour  and  drippings  rubbed 
together;  let  boil,  and  serve. 

BAKED  CHICKEN 

Take  a  plump  chicken,  dress  and  lay  in 
cold  salt  water  for  half  hour,  put  in  pan, 
stuff  and  sprinkle  with  salt  and  pepper; 
lay  a  few  slices  of  fat  pork.  Cover  and 
bake  until  tender,  with  a  steady  fire. 
Baste  often.  Turn  so  as  to  have  uni- 
form heat. 

BOILED  CHICKEN 

Clean,  wash  and  stuff  as  for  roasting. 
Baste  a  floured  cloth  around  each,  and 
put  into  a  pot  with  enough  boiling  water 
to  cover  them  well.  The  hot  water 
cooks  the  skin  at  once,  and  prevents  the 
escape  of  the  juices.  The  broth  will  not 
be  so  rich  as  if  the  fowls  are  put  on  in 
cold  water,  but  this  is  proof  that  the 
meat  will  be  more  nutritious  and  better 
flavored.  Stew  very  slowly,  for  the  first 
half  hour  especially.  Boil  an  hour  or 
more,  guiding  yourself  by  size  and  tough-

CHICKEN  FRICASSEE 

Clean  and  disjoint  chicken.  Wipe  each 
piece.  Put  in  pot,  cover  with  boiling 
water  and  simmer  till  tender.  To  the 
liquor  add  one  cup  or  more  hot  milk, 
thicken  with  barley  flour  dissolved  in 
cold  water.  Season  well,  boil  for  a  few 
minutes.  Serve  with  dumplings  or  bis- 
cuit. 

TO  BROIL  A  CHICKEN 

Singe,  wipe  and  with  a  sharp-pointed 
knife,  beginning  at  back  of  neck,  make 
a  cut  through  backbone  the  entire  length 
of  bird.  Lay  open  the  bird  and  remove 
contents  from  inside.  Cut  out  rib  bones 
on  either  side  of  backbone,  remove  from 
breastbone  and  cut  through  tendons  at 
joints. 

Sprinkle  with  salt  and  pepper,  and 
place  in  a  well-greased  broiler.  Broil 
twenty  minutes  over  a  clear  fire,  watch- 
ing carefully  and  turning  broiler  so  that 
all  parts  may  be  equally  browned.  The 
flesh  side  must  be  exposed  to  the  fire 
the  greater  part  of  the  time  as  the  skin 
side  will  brown  quickly.  Remove  to  a 
hot  platter,  spread  with  soft  butter,  and 
sprinkle  with  salt  and  pepper.  Chickens 
are  so  apt  to  burn  while  broiling  that 
many  prefer  to  partially  cook  them  in 
the  oven.  Place  chicken  in  dripping-pan, 
skin  side  down,  sprinkle  with  salt  and 
pepper,  dot  over  with  butter  or  butter 
substitute,  and  bake  IS  minutes  in  hot 
oven.     Then  broil  to  finish  cooking. 

CHICKEN  CROQUETTES 

Cut  up  fine  any  kind  of  cold  fowl, 
season  with  salt,  pepper  and  butter,  a 
little  onion,  stir  in  two  fresh  eggs.  Make 
in  cakes,  dip  in  beaten  egg,  then  in  oat- 
meal and  fry  in  boiling  lard  or  lard  and 
butter  mixed. 

FRIED  SPRING  CHICKEN 

Clean  and  disjoint,  then  soak  in  salt 
water  for  about  two  hours.  Put  in  fry- 
ing pan  equal  parts  of  lard  and  butter, 
enough  to  cover  chicken.  Roll  each  piece 
in  barley  flour,  dip  in  beaten  egg, 
then  roll  in  crumbs,  and  drop  into 
boiling  fat.  Fry  until  browned  on  both 
sides.  Serve  on  flat  platter  garnished 
with  sprigs  of  parsley.  Pour  most  of  the 
fat  from  frying  pan,  thicken  remainder 
with  browned  flour,  add  to  it  a  cup  of 
boiling  water  or  milk.  Serve  in  gravy 
bowl. 


CHICKEN  PIE 

Disjoint  fowl  and  simmer  in  boiling 
water  until  tender.  Season  to  taste,  and 
lay  in  deep  baking  dish.  Mix  two  level 
tablespoons  cornstarch  with  two  level 
tablespoons  of  barley  flour,  add  four 
tablespoons  cream  and  three  cups  hot 
chicken  stock,  stir  till  it  thickens.  Pour 
over  chicken  and  cover  with  crust.  Sift 
into  mixing  bowl  one-half  cup  of  barley 
flour,  one-quarter  cup  cornstarch,  two 
and  one-half  teaspoons  baking  powder, 
one-quarter  teaspoon  salt;  rub  in  finely 
one  tablespoon  each  of  lard  and  butter. 
Add  milk  to  make  dough  enough  as  soft 
as  may  be  handled.  Roll  out  little 
larger  than  top  of  dish,  so  that  crust 
may  be  placed  on  loosely.  Pierce  small 
openings  in  crust,  and  bake  until  crust 
is  well  done.  Send  to  table  in  baking 
dish. 

BOILED  CHICKEN— ROYAL  STYLE 

Truss  chicken  and  tie  strips  of  bacon 
oyer  the  breast.  Put  into  a  kettle,  cover 
with  boiling  water,  season  with  salt  and 
pepper,  cover  close  and  cook  slowly 
until  tender.  Remove  from  water,  drain, 
rub  with  mixture  of  creamed  butter  and 
barley  flour  and  brown  in  the  oven.  Cool 
the  liquor  quickly  and  remove  the  fat, 
then  reheat.  To  each  pint  of  liquor  allow 
one  and  one-half  tablespoons  corn  starch. 
Blend  the  corn  starch  in  a  little  cold 
water,  pour  into  the  hot  liquor  and  boil 
ten  minutes.  Then  add  one-half  cup 
chopped  mushrooms.  When  gravy  is 
perfectly  done,  remove  from  fire,  and  to 
one  pint  of  gravy  add  yolk  of  one  tgg, 
slightly  beaten.  Do  not  cook  again  after 
the  yolk  has  been  added,  or  it  may  curdle. 
Serve  gravy  in  boat. 

BAKED  CHICKEN 

Dress,  clean,  and  cut  up  two  chickens. 
Place  in  a  dripping-pan,  sprinkle  with 
salt  and  pepper,  dredge  with  flour  (bar- 
ley flour)  and  dot  over  with  butter  sub- 
stitute. Bake  thirty  minutes  in  a  hot 
oven,  basting  every  five  minutes  with 
butter  substitute  or  drippings  melted  in 
one-quarter  cup  boiling  water.  Serve 
with  gravy  made  by  using  fat  in  pan,  one- 
quarter  cup  substitute  flour,  one  cup  each 
of  chicken  stock  and  cream,  and  salt  and 
pepper  to  taste. 

CHICKEN  A  LA  CREOLE 

Cut  a  boiled  chicken  into  cubes  of  an 
inch.  Put  a  tablespoonful  of  butter  sub- 
stitute and  one  of  grated  onion  in  a  fry- 
ing pan,  add  half  a  cupful  of  tomato  and

CHICKEN  CURRY 


3  Pounds  Chicken 
1-3    Cup  Butter  Substitute 
2  Onions 

1  Tablespoon  Curry  Powder 

2  Teaspoons  Salt 

1  Teaspoon  Vinegar 

Clean,  dress,  and  cut  chicken  in  pieces 
for  serving.  Put  grease  in  a  hot  frying- 
pan,  add  chicken,  and  cook  ten  minutes; 
then  add  liver  and  gizzard  and  cook  ten 
minutes  longer.  Cut  onions  in  thin  slices, 
and  add  to  chicken  with  curry  powder 
and  salt.  Add  enough  boiling  water  to 
cover,  and  simmer  until  chicken  is  ten- 
der. Remove  chicken,  strain  and  thicken 
liquor  with  flour  diluted  with  enough 
cold  water  to  pour  easily.  Pour  gravy 
over  chicken,  and  serve  with  a  border  of 
rice  or  Turkish  pilaf. 

CHICKEN  EN  CASSEROLE 

Cut    two    small,    young    chickens    in 


pieces  for  serving.  Season  with  salt  and 
pepper,  brush  over  with  melted  butter 
substitute  and  bake  in  a  casserole  dish 
twelve  minutes.  Parboil  one-third  cup 
carrots  cut  in  strips  five  minutes,  drain, 
and  fry  with  one  tablespoon  finely 
chopped  onion  and  four  thin  slices 
bacon  cut  in  narrow  strips.  Add  one 
and  one-third  cups  brown  sauce  and  two- 
thirds  cup  potato  balls.  Add  to  chicken, 
with  three  tablespoons  Sherry  wine,  salt 
and  pepper  to  taste.  Cook  in  a  moderate

JELLIED  CHICKEN 

Dress,  clean,  and  cut  up  a  four-pound 
fowl.  Put  in  a  stewpan  with  two  slices 
onion,  cover  with  boiling  water,  and 
cook  slowly  until  meat  falls  from  bones. 
When  half  cooked,  add  one-half  table- 
spoon salt.  Remove  chicken;  reduce 
stock  to  three-quarters  cup,  strain,  and 
skim  off  fat.  Decorate  bottom  of  a 
mold  with  parsley,  and  slices  of  hard- 
boiled  eggs.  Pack  in  meat  freed  from 
skin  and  bone  and  sprinkled  with  salt 
and  pepper.  Pour  on  stock  and  place 
mold  under  heavy  weight.  Keep  in  a 
cold  place  until  firm.  In  summer  it  is 
necessary  to  add  one  teaspoon  dis- 
solved granulated  gelatine  to  stock. 

ROAST  TAME  DUCK 

Take  a  young  farmyard  duck  fattened 
at  liberty,  but  cleansed  by  being  shut 
up  two  or  three  days  and  fed  on  barley 
meal  and  water.  Pluck,  singe  and 
empty;  scald  the  feet,  skin  and  twist 
round  on  the  back  of  the  bird;  head, 
neck  and  pinions  must  be  cut  off,  the 
latter  at  the  first  joint,  and  all  skewered 
firmly  to  give  the  breast  a  nice  plump 
appearance.  For  stuffing,  one-half 
pound  of  onions,  one  teaspoon  of  pow- 
dered sage,  three  tablespoons  of  bread 
crumbs,  the  liver  of  a  duck  parboiled 
and  minced  with  cayenne  pepper  and 
salt.  Cut  fine  onions,  throwing  boiling 
water  over  them  for  ten  minutes;  drain 
through  a  gravy  strainer,  and  add  the 
bread  crumbs,  minced  liver,  sage,  pep- 
per and  salt  to  taste;  mix,  and  put  inside 
the  duck.  This  amount  is  for  one  duck; 
more  onion  and  more  sage  may  be 
added,  but  the  above  is  a  delicate  com- 
pound not  likely  to  disagree  with  the 
stomach.  Let  the  duck  be  hung  a  day 
or    two,    according    to    the   weather,    to

To  Make  Coffee  ''Good'' — Use  Good  Coffee 

HAVE  COFFEE  POT  THOROUGHLY  CLEANED  DAILY. 
USE  A  TABLESPOONFUL  COFFEE  FOR  EACH  CUP  AND  ONE  FOR  THE  POT. 

Follow  any  one  of  these 

THREE     METHODS 

Boiling  or  Brewing  Method — A 

Use  coffee  ground  medium.  Pour  boiling  water  on  required 
amount  of  coffee  in  order  to  bring  out  the  richness  and 
strength.    Let  simmer  slowly  for  fifteen  minutes. 

Percolating  Method — B 

Use  finely  ground  coffee.  After  the  water  begins  bubbling 
over  the  coffee  let  continue  so,  percolating  slowly  from 
fifteen  to  twenty  minutes  until  the  rich,  brown  color  and 
strength  of  the  coffee  are  finally  brought  out. 

^  Filtration  Method — C 

Place  coffee,  ground  very  finely  or  pulverized,  in  bag  sus- 
pended in  coee  pot  and  pass  the  required  amount  of  boil- 
ing water. 

The  filtration  method  is  the  quickest  way  to  make  coffee 
but  a  great  deal  of  care  must  be  given  to  the  bag.  It 
should  at  all  times  be  kept  absolutely  clean  and  sweet.  A 
good  method  to  adopt  is  to  start  with  a  new  bag  every 

Sunday  morning  and  immediately  after  using  the  bag  should  be  thoroughly 

cleaned  in  hot  water  and  kept  in  a  jar  of  fresh,  cold  water. 

Do  not  use  soap  in  cleaning  the  bag. 

N.  B. — Boiling  water  must  be  212  o. 

Keep  the  brew  hot.     Chilling  the  brew  destroys  the  affiliation  of  oils  and 

water  and  therefore  the  flavor. 

Our  steel  cut  process  used  in  grinding  coffee  eliminates  the  hitter  chaff, 

and  the  result  is

make  the  flesh  tender.  Roast  before  a 
brisk,  clear  fire,  baste  often,  and  dredge 
with  flour  to  make  the  bird  look  frothy. 
Serve  with  a  good  brown  gravy  in  the 
dish,  and  apple  sauce  in  a  tureen.  It 
takes  about  an  hour. 

BRAISED  WILD  DUCK 

Chop  fine  one  head  of  celery,  a  bunch 
of  parsley,  one  small  onion,  a  piece  of 
garlic,  one  cup  of  sage,  a  pinch  of  mace 
and  red  pepper,  salt  to  suit.  Beat  yolk 
of  one  egg  and  bind  stuffing,  adding  also 
a  heaping  teaspoon  of  soft  butter.  Fill 
ducks,  sew  up  opening,  put  in  braising 
'pan  with  cover,  adding  a  little  onion, 
garlic,  parsley  and  celery  cut  fine,  a  bay 
leaf,  two  tablespoons  of  cider  vinegar, 
a  small  glass  of  white  wine,  pinch  of 
sage,  red  pepper  and  salt,  five  table- 
spoons of  butter  and  a  pint  of  good 
Istock.  Cover  tightly  and  put  in  me- 
Idium  oven,  cooking  one  hour.  Mix  with 
icold  water  two  tablespoons  of  browned 
iflour  and  stir  in  one-quarter  cup  of 
capers.  Cover  and  cook  slowly  for  half 
an  hour  or  more;  beat  to  a  paste  with  a 
teaspoon  of  butter  the  yolks  of  three 
hardboiled  eggs,  a  pinch  of  salt  and  red 
pepper.  Form  into  small  balls.  Put 
the  ducks  on  large  squares  of  toast.  Put 
egg  balls  around  and  pour  sauce  over 
all. 

ROAST  WILD  DUCK 

Dress  and  clean  a  wild  duck  and  truss. 
Place  on  rack  in  dripping-pan,  sprinkle 
with  salt  and  pepper,  and  cover  breast 
with  two  very  thin  slices  fat  salt  pork. 
Bake  twenty  to  thirty  minutes  in  a  very 
hot  oven,  basting  every  five  minutes 
with  fat  in  pan;  cut  string  and  remove 
string  and  skewers.  Serve  with  orange 
or  olive  sauce.  Currant  jelly  should  ac- 
company a  duck  course.  Domestic 
ducks  should  always  be  well  cooked, 
requiring  little  more  than  twice  the 
time  allowed  for  wild  ducks. 

Ducks  are  sometimes  stuffed  with 
apples,  pared,  cored,  and  cut  in  quar- 
ters, or  three  small  onions  may  be  put 
in  ^  body  of  duck  to  improve  flavor. 
Neither  apples  nor  onions  are  to  be 
served.  If  a  stuffing  to  be  eaten  is  de- 
sired, cover  pieces  of  dry  bread  with 
boiling  water;  as  soon  as  bread  has  ab- 
sorbed water,  press  out  the  water;  sea- 
son bread  with  salt,  pepper,  melted  but- 
ter,   finely   chopped   onion,   or   use

BROILED  QUAIL 

Follow  recipe  for  broiling  chicken,  al- 
lowing eight  minutes  for  cooking.  Serve 
on  pieces  of  toast,  and  garnish  with 
parsley  and  thin  slices  of  lemon.  Cur- 
rant jelly  or  rice  croquettes  with  jelly 
should  accompany  this  course. 

QUAIL  ON  TOAST 

Take  five  quail,  but  don't  remove  the 
skins,  for  you  would  lose  all  the  taste  of 
the  game.  Wipe  them  well;  string  them 
tight,  so  as  to  raise  the  breasts.  Put  a 
little  butter  substitute  on  each,  a  little 
lemon  juice,  and  inside  each  the  quarter 
of  a  lemon  without  the  peel.  Then  put 
a  very  thin  slice  of  pork,  about  two 
inches  square,  around  each  quail,  with 
two  or  three  cuts  in  each  side,  and  string 
it  tight.  Let  cook  on  a  good  fire,  and 
when  they  are  nearly  well  done  (for 
white  meat  game  must  be  well  done)  cut 
the  strings;  dress  nicely  on  toast  and 
serve  hot.  Pour  the  juice  on  the  quail 
after  having  taken  the  fat  off,  and  put 
some  slices  of  lemon* around  the  dish, 
one  for  each  quail.

having  a  quick,  clear  fire.  Turn  them

CONSOMME  OR  PLAIN  MEAT  . 
STOCK  FOR  SOUP 

Consomme  or  stock  forms  the  basis 
of  all  meat  soups,  gravies  and  purees. 
The  simpler  it  is  made,  the  longer  it 
keeps.  It  is  best  made  of  fresh  un- 
cooked beef  and  some  broken  bones,  to 
which  may  be  added  the  remnants  of 
broken  meats.  In  a  home  where  meat 
forms  part  of  the  every-day  diet,  a  good 
cook  will  seldom  be  without  a  stock-pot. 

Four  pounds  of  beef  and  broken 
bones,  one  gallon  of  cold  water  and  two 
teaspoons  of  salt.  Put  the  meat  and 
water  on  the  back  of  the  stove  and  let 
it  slowly  come  to  a  boil,  then  simmer 
three  or  four  hours,  until  the  water  is 
boiled  away  one-half;  add  the  salt, 
strain  and  set  to  cool,  in  an  earthenware 
dish  well  covered.  When  cold,  take  off 
the  fat  from  the  top  and  it  is  ready  for 
use.  To  make  soup  for  a  family  of  six, 
take  one-quarter  of  the  stock,  to  which 
add  one-quarter  of  boiling  water,  and 
any  vegetables  desired — boil  three  hours. 
Season  with  salt  and  pepper. 

MIXED  STOCK  FOR  SOUPS 

To  six  pounds  of  lean  beef,  with  the 
bones  well  cracked,  add  six  quarts  of 
water.  Put  the  beef,  bones  and  water  in 
a  covered  kettle  on  the  stove  to  heat 
slowly.  Let  it  boil  gently  for  six  hours. 
After  it  ha$  boiled  for  six  hours,  strain 
and  set  aside  well  covered  until  the  next 
day.  Before  needed,  remove  the  fat,  set 
the  soup  over  the  fire  and  put  in  a  little 
salt,  two  carrots,  two  onions,  one  tur- 
nip, one  head  of  celery.  Stew  in  suffi- 
cient water  to  cover  them.  When  ten- 
der, add  the  vegetables  and  the  water 
in  which  they  were  cooked,  to  the  soup. 
Boil  slowly  for  one-half  hour.  Strain 
when  done.  A  bay  leaf  added  to  the 
stock  before  cooking  the  second  day, 
adds  greatly  to  the  flavor. 

MUTTON  BROTH 

Place  in  a  kettle  three  pounds  of  a 
neck  of  mutton  from  which  the  fat  has 
been  cut,  and  chopped  into  small  pieces, 
with  six  pints  of  water.     Boil,  skim,  set 


the  pan  to  the  rear  of  the  stove,  where 
it  can  simmer  for  an  hour.  Add  three 
ounces  of  washed  rice,  with  a  turnip  and 
some  celery.  Simmer  for  two  hours. 
Strain,  free  from  fat  and  salt. 

BEEF  TEA 

Take  two  pounds  of  lean  rump  beef, 
remove  all  fat,  cut  into  small  pieces  and 
place  in  a  tightly  corked  bottle.  Place 
the  bottle  in  a  deep  saucepan  of  cold 
water,  reaching  two-thirds  of  the  way  to 
the  top  of  the  bottle,  place  over  a  slow 
fire,  and  keep  it  boiling  slowly  for  fifteen 
minutes,  take  out  the  bottle,  pour  out 
the  liquor,  and  use  as  required. 

BOUILLON 

Four  pounds  of  beef,  one  knuckle  of 
veal,  one  carrot,  two  small  turnips,  a 
sprig  of  celery,  one  very  small  red  pep- 
per pod,  two  small  onions,  salt  and  six 
quarts  of  water;  boil  six  hours,  and 
strain  through  a  sieve.  Let  stand  over 
night.     Serve  hot. 

BARLEY  BROTH 

Put  two  pounds  of  shin  beef  in  one 
gallon  of  water.  Add  a  teacup  of  pearl 
barley,  three  large  onions  and  a  small 
bunch  of  parsley  minced,  three  potatoes 
sliced,  a  little  thyme  and  pepper,  salt  to 
taste.  Simmer  steadily  three  hours,  and 
stir  often,  so  that  the  meat  will  not  bum. 
Do  not  let  it  boil.  Always  stir  soup  or 
broth  with  a  wooden  spoon. 

TURKEY  SOUP 

Place  the  remains  of  a  cold  turkey 
and  what  is  left  of  the  dressing  and 
gravy  in  pot,  and  cover  it  with  cold 
water.  Simmer  slowly  four  hours,  and 
let  stand  until  the  next  day.  Take  ofl 
what  fat  may  have  arisen,  and  take  out 
with  a  skimmer  all  the  bits  of  bones. 
Put  the  soup  on  to  heat  until  at  boiling 
point,  then  thicken  slightly  with  flour 
stirred  into  a  cup  of  cream,  and  season 
to  taste.  Pick  off  all  the  meat  from 
bones,  put  it  back  in  the  soup,  boil  up 
and  serve.

BROILING 

The  rules  for  roasting  meat  apply  to 
broiling  except  that  instead  of  cooking  it 
in  the  oven  it  is  to  be  quickly  browned, 
first  on  one  side  and  then  on  the  other, 
over  a  hot  fire,  and  removed  a  little  from 
the  fire  to  finish  cooking.  Meat  an 
inch  thick  will  broil  in  about  four  min- 
utes.   Season  after  it  is  cooked. 

FRYING 

There  are  two  methods  of  frying:  One 
with  very  little  fat  in  the  pan,  to  prac- 
tice which  successfully  the  pan  and  the 
fat  must  be  hot  before  the  article  to  be 
fried  is  put  into  it.  For  instance,  in 
frying  chops,  if  the  pan  is  hot,  and  only 
fat  enough  is  used  to  keep  the  chops 
from  sticking  to  it,  the  heat  being  main- 
tained so  that  the  chops  cook  quickly, 
they  will  be  nearly  as  nice  as  if  they 
were  broiled.  Frying  by  the  other 
method  consists  in  entirely  covering  the 
article  to  be  cooked  in  smoking-hot  fat 
and  keeping  the  fat  at  that  degree  of 
heat  until  the  food  is  brown.  It  should 
then  be  taken  up  with  a  skimmer  and 
laid  upon  brown  paper  for  a  moment  to 
free  it  from  grease. 

BOILING  AND  STEWING 

Fresh  meat  for  boiling  should  be  put 
into  boiling  water  and  boiled  very 
gently  about  twenty  minutes  for  each 
pound.  A  little  salt,  spice  or  vegetables 
ynay  be  boiled  in  the  water  with  the 
meat  for  seasoning.  A  little  vinegar  put 
in  the  water  with  tough  meat  makes  it 
tender.  The  broth  of  boiled  meat  should 
always  be  saved  to  use  in  soups,  stews 
and  gravies.  Stewing  and  simmering 
meats  means  to  place  them  near  enough

to  the  fire  to  keep  the  water  on  them 
bubbling  moderately,  constantly  and 
slowly.  Salt  meats  should  be  put  over 
the  fire  in  cold  water,  which,  as  soon  as 
it  boils,  should  be  replaced  by  fresh 
cold  water,  the  water  to  be  changed  un- 
til it  remains  fresh  enough  to  give  the 
meat  a  palatable  flavor  when  done. 
Salted  and  smoked  meats  require  about 
30  minutes  very  slowly  boiling,  from  the 
time  the  water  boils,  to  each  pound. 
Vegetables  and  herb?  may  be  boiled 
with  them  to  flavor  them.  When  they 
are  cooked  the  vessel  containing  them 
should  be  set  where  they  will  keep  hot 
without  boiling  until  wanted,  if  they 
are  to  be  served  hot;  if  they  are  to  be 
served  cold,  they  should  be  allowed  to 
cool  in  the  pot  liquor  in  which  they 
were  boiled.  Very  salt  meats,  or  those 
much  dried  in  smoking,  should  be 
soaked  over  night  in  cold  water  before 
boiling. 

ROASTING 

Wipe  the  meat  with  damp  cloth.  Trim 
and  tie  into  shape,  if  necessary.  In  the 
bottom  of  pan  put  some  pieces  of  fat 
from  meat.  Arrange  meat  on  rack  in 
pan.  Sprinkle  with  salt,  pepper  and 
flour.  Have  oven  very  hot  at  first;  when 
meat  is  half  done  reduce  heat.  Baste 
every  ten  or  fifteen  minutes.  If  there 
is  danger  of  fat  in  pan  being  scorched, 
add  a  few  spoons  of  boiling  water.  Al- 
low from  ten  to  twenty  minutes  per 
pound  of  meat,  according  as  it  is  desired, 
rare  or  well  done.  When  done  remove 
to  hot  plate.  Thicken  gravy  in  pan  with 
barley  flour,  adding  more  water  as  neces- 
sary and  add  seasoning.  An  onion  may 
be  laid  on  top  of  the  roast  to  give  it 
flavor,  but  should  be  removed  before 
serving. 

In  purchasing  meat  one  should  know 
how  to  select  the  best  quality,  and  the 
most  useful  pieces. 

Beef,  which  stands  at  the  head  of  the 
list,  as  being  most  generally  used  and 
liked,  should  be  of  a  bright,  clear  red, 
and  fat  white.  It  should  be  well  clothed 
in  fat,  to  insure  it  being  tender  and 
juicy.  The  finest  pieces  are  the  sirloin 
and  the  ribs— the  latter  making  the  best 
roasting  piece  in  the  animal. 

In  cooking  steaks  remember  it  is  far 
better  to  turn  over  three  or  four  times 
on  a  platter  containing  a  little  olive  oil 
than  it  is  to  hammer  them,  to  make 
them  tender.  The  object  is  not  to  force 
the  juice,  but  to  soften  the  fibre. 

In  selecting  pork,  one  cannot  exercise 
too  great  care  in  examining  it.  Do  not 
buy  any  that  is  clammy  or  has  kernels  in 


the  fat.  Remember,  too,  when  the  rind 
is  hard  it  is  old. 

Veal  should  be  fine  in  grain,  of  a 
delicate  pink,  with  plenty  of  kidney  fat. 
It  should  never  be  eaten  under  two 
months  old. 

Mutton  should  be  firm  and  juicy,  the 
flesh  close-grained,  the  fat  hard  and 
white. 

TO   CLARIFY  DRIPPINGS 

Drippings  accumulated  from  different 
cooked  meats  (except  mutton,  which  has 
a  strong  flavor),  can  be  clarified  by  put- 
ting all  into  a  basin  and  slicing  into  it 
raw  potato,  allowing  it  to  boil  long 
enough  for  the  potato  to  brown,  which 
causes  all  impurities  to  disappear.  Re- 
move from  the  fire,  and  when  cool  drain 
into  basin  and  set  in  a  cool  place. 

BEEF 
HINT  ON  COOKING  ROAST  BEEF 

For  roast  beef  to  be  juicy  and  tender 
when  done,  it  should  be  basted  every 
few  minutes  so  in  order  to  save  your- 
self this  trouble,  place  a  large  piece  of 
beef  suet  on  top  of  the  roast;  have  bak- 
ing pan  perfectly  dry  and  oven  very  hot; 
place  in  the  oven  and  let  cook  the  al- 
lotted time — say  half  an  hour,  according 
to  the  size.  You  can  be  about  your  in- 
side work  and  in  the  allotted  time  your 
roast  is  done  to  a  beautiful  brown  and 
is  very  juicy,  as  it  has  been  constantly 
basting  itself  all  the  while  with  the  suet. 
Take  roast  out  of  pan,  pour  off  drip- 
pings in  a  bowl  and  make  a  gravy  on 
top  of  stove.  A  nice  addition  to  this  is  • 
to  put  half  dozen  or  so  peeled  potatoes 
in  the  pan  with  roast  when  placing  it  in 
to  cook,  and  they  will  be  done  to  a 
nicety  when  the  roast  is.  On  taking  up 
roast  lay  baked  potatoes  around  same. 
This  was  an  experiment  and  proved 
very  successful,  and  saves  a  great  deal 
of  work  and  worry. 

BOILED  BEEF  WITH  CABBAGE 

1   Head  Cabbage 
5  Pounds  Beef 
Salt,  Pepper 

Remove  all  bruised  or  soiled  leaves 
from  cabbage,  and  cut  in  sections  length- 
wise, leaving  a  piece  of  the  heart  on  each 
section  to  hold  it  together.  Boil  beef  » 
for  an  hour,  or  more,  according  to  size 
of  piece.  Place  cabbage  on  top  of  meat 
and  cook  together  one  hour,  seasoning 
to  taste.  Lift  out  the  beef,  allow  the 
cabbage  to  boil  a  few  minutes  in  the 
broth  and  serve.

minutes,  then  place  it  in  the  oven  and  let 
it  roast  slowly  until  done.  Baste  con- 
tinually with  good  dripping  until  that 
from  the  joint  begins  to  flow.  When

Veal  (sliced) 

Salt,  Pepper 

Mace,  Thyme,  Parsley 

Barley  Flour,  Butter 

Season  with  salt  and  pepper;  flour 
lightly  and  fry  brown.  Lay  in  saucepan, 
cover  with  water;  skim  well;  add  season- 
ings. Simmer  2^  hours;  thicken  gravy 
with  flour;  add  butter  and  salt  to  taste. 

ROAST  LOIN  OF  VEAL 

Leave  in  the  kidney,  around  which  put 
considerable  salt.  Make  a  dressing  the 
same  as  for  fowls;  unroll  the  loin,  put 
the  stuffing  well  around  the  kidney,  fold 
and  secure  with  several  coils  of  white 
cotton  twine  wound  around  in  all  direc- 
tions; place  in  a  dripping  pan,  with  the 
thick  side  down,  and  put  in  a  rather  hot 
oven,  letting  it  cool  down  to  moderate; 
in  one-half  hour  add  a  little  hot  water 
to  the  pan,  and  baste  often;  after  half 
an  hour  turn  over  the  roast  and  when 
done  sprinkle  lightly  with  barley  flour 
and  baste  with  melted  butter.  Before 
serving  carefully  remove  the  twine.  A 
roast  of  four  or  five  pounds  will  bake  in 
about  two  hours.  For  a  gravy,  skim  off 
some  of  the  fat  if  there  is  too  much  in 
the  drippings;  dredge  in  barley  flour; 
stir  until  brown,  add  hot  water  if  neces- 
sary; boil  a  few  minutes,  stir  in  sweet 
herbs  as  fancied  and  put  in  a  gravy  boat. 
Serve  with  green  peas  and  lemon  jelly. 


FRIED  SWEETBREADS 

For  every  mode  of  dressing  they 
should  be  prepared  by  half  boiling,  and 
then  putting  them  in  cold  water;  this 
makes  them  whiter  and  firmer.  Dip  in 
beaten  egg  and  then  in  bread  crumbs, 
pepper  and  salt  and  fry  in  drippings. 
Serve  with  peas  or  tomatoes. 

VEAL  CUTLETS,  BREADED 

Trim  and  flatten  the  cutlets,  add  pep- 
per and  salt,  and  roll  in  beaten  egg, 
then  in  oatmeal.  Fry  in  good  dripping, 
turn  when  the  lower  side  is  brown. 
Drain  off  the  fat,  squeeze  a  little  lemon 
juice  on  each,  and  serve  in  a  hot  flat 
dish. 

CALVES  LIVER  AND  BACON 

Cut  liver  in  one-half  inch  slices,  soak 
in  cold  water  twenty  minutes,  drain,  dry 
and  roll  in  barley  flour.  Have  pan  very 
hot.  Put  in  bacon  thinly  sliced,  turn 
until  brown;  put  on  hot  platter.  Fry 
liver  quickly  in  the  hot  fat,  turning  very 
often.  When  done,  pour  off  all  but  one 
or  two  tablespoons  fat,  dredge  in  barley 
flour  until  it  is  absorbed,  and  stir  till 
brown.  Add  hot  water  gradually  to 
make  smooth  gravy,  season  and  boil  one 
minute.     Serve  separately.

Visit  3  stores  when  buying  Furniture 


Always  visit  3  stores — study,  in  as  critical  a  manner  as  possible,  each 
store's  policy,  each  store's  values,  each  store's  prices.  ^  Have  each  sales- 
man explain  materials  used;  learn  the  difference  between  the  real  and 
the  "just  as  good";  ask  what  each  store  does  if  you  are  dissatisfied 
at  any  time;  realize  the  difference  between  "painted  pine"  at  $25,  and 
"6-coat  enamel  over  maple"  at  $80 — the  both  may  be  called  "decorated 
ivory."  H  Then  place  your  order  with  the  store  which  gives  you  the 
best    value,    service    and    satisfaction    for    the    money    you    invest. 


From  the  department  of  Interior 
Decoration  right  through  the  depart- 
ments of  service  we  are  all  here  to  help 
you.  Give  us  a  floor,  four  walls  and  a

and  they  courteously  and  helpfully  put 
your  interests  and  your  satisfaction 
'way  ahead  of  the  mere  figures  involved 
in  the  sale. 

Seventy  per  cent  of  our  customers  pay

BOILED  EGGS 


Have  ready  a  saucepan  containing 
boiling  water.  Carefully  put  in  with  a 
spoon  the  number  of  eggs  desired.  Re- 
move pan  to  back  of  stove  where  the 
water  will  not  boil,  and  cook  eggs  for 
6  or  8  minutes  if  liked  "soft  boiled,"  or 
from  40  to  45  minutes  if  liked  "hard 
boiled." 

After  rfemoyiiig  "hard  boiled"  eggs 
from  pan,  they  should  be  immediately 
plunged  into  cold  water  to  prevent  dis- 
coloration of  yolks. 

POACHED  EGGS 

Have  ready  a  shallow  pan  about  Yz 
full  of  boiling  water.  Allow  ^4  table- 
spoon salt  to  1  quart  of  water.  Put  two 
or  three  greased  muflfin  rings  in  the 
water.  Break  each  egg  separately  into 
a  cup,  and  carefully  slip  into  a  muffin 
ring.  The  water  should  cover  the  egg. 
When  there  is  a  film  over  tlie  top,  and 
the  white  is  firm,  carefully  remove  "yvith 
a  greased  skimmer.  Serve  and  allow 
eggs  to  be  seasoned  at  the  table.  They 
may  be  garnished  with  parsley. 

SCRAMBLED  EGGS 

2  Eggs 

2  Tablespoons  of  Milk 
'  y^  Teaspoon  Salt 
Y-t  Teaspoon  Butter 

Beat  the  eggs  and  add  the  salt  and 
milk.  Put  the  butter  in  a  small  saucepan 
and  when  it  melts,  add  the  eggs.  Stir 
over  the  fire  until  the  mixture  thickens, 
being  careful  not  to  let  it  cook  hard; 
about  two  minutes  will  cook  it.  The  eggs 
when  done  should  be  white  and  creamy. 
Serve  immediately. 

PLAIN  OMELET 

4  Eggs 
Yz  Teaspoon  Salt 

Few  Grains  Pepper 
4  Tablespoons  Hot  Water 
1  Tablespoon  Butter  or  Butter  Substitute 
11/2  Can  Thin  White  Sauce 

Separate  yolks  from  whites.  Beat 
yolks  until  thick  and  lemon-colored;  add 


salt,  pepper  and  hot  water.  Beat  whites 
until  stiff  and  dry,  cutting  and  folding 
them  into  first  mixture  until  they  have 
taken  up  mixture.  Heat  omelet  pan,  and 
butter  sides  and  bottom.  Turn  in  mix- 
ture, spread  evenly,  place  on  stove  where 
it  will  cook  slowly.  Turn  the  pan  oc- 
casionally so  that  it  will  cook  evenly. 
When  well  puffed  and  delicately 
browned  underneath,  place  pan  on  cen- 
ter grate  of  oven  to  finish  cooking  thie 
top.  The  omelet  is  cooked  if  it  is  firm 
to  the  touch  when  pressed  by  the  finger. 
li  it  clings  to  the  finger  like  the  beaten 
white  of  tg^,  it  needs  longer  cooking. 
Fold,  turn  on  hot  platter,  and  pour 
around  lJ/4  cups  white  sauce.  Serve  im- 
mediately. 

TO  TURN  AND  FOLD  AN  OMELET 

Hold  an  omelet  pan  by  the  handle 
with  the  left  hand.  With  a  caseknife 
make  2  one-half-inch  incisions  opposite 
each  other  at  right  angles  to  handle. 
Place  knife  under  the  part  of  omelet 
nearest  handle,  tip  pan  to  nearly  a  verti- 
cal position.  By  carefully  coaxing  the 
omelet  with  knife,  it  will  fold  and  turn 
without  breaking. 

OYSTER  OMELET 

Mix  and  cook  Plain  Omelet.  Fold  in 
one  pint  oysters,  which  have  been  par- 
boiled and  drained  from  their  liquor,  and

GENERAL  DIRECTIONS  FOR  PRE- 
PARING 

Scrub  root  vegetables  thoroughly  with 
a  stiff  brush. 

Thin  skins  may  be  scraped  off,  thick 
skins  must  be  pared  off.  Most  thick 
skins  are  more  easily  removed  after 
cooking. 

Any  kind  of  greens  should  be  rinsed 
in  several  waters  to  remove  all  grit. 
If  the  vegetables  are  wilted  they  may  be 
freshened  by  soaking  in  cold  water  for 
a  few  hours  before  using. 

Head  vegetables  should  be  placed  head 
down,  in  a  pan  of  cold  water  containing 
a  little  salt  or  vinegar.  This  will  remove 
any  small  insects  that  may  be  lodged 
in  them. 

The  strings  from  string  beans  should 
be  pulled  or  cut  off  with  great  care. 

Remove  and  throw  away  the  inner 
pulp  and  seeds  of  old  squashes  and 
pumpkins. 

The  whole  of  summer  squash  is  edible. 

Scald  tomatoes,  pour  cold  water  over 
them.     This  makes  them  easier  to  peel. 

The  outer  covering  must  be  removed 
from  sweet  corn,  green  peas,  or  shell 
beans. 

ECONOMICAL  POINTS  IN  PRE- 
PARING 

1.  Peel  thinly  or  not  at  all  until  after 
they  are  cooked.  You  will  save  from  15 
to  20%  of  the  nutritive  value  of  the 
whole  vegetable. 

2.  Do  not  discard  leaves  of  lettuce, 
celery,  beets  or  roots,  dandelion  nub- 
bins and  roots — they  contain  much  min- 
eral matter. 

Cook  them  until  tender,  rub  through 
a  sieve  and  use  in  stock  for  vegetable 
soup. 

3.  Do  not  throw  away  water  in  which 
vegetables  have  been  cooked — it  con- 
tains nourishing  starch  and  mineral  mat- 
ter. Use  it  in  the  soup  pot  or  as  a  basis 
for  cream  soups  or  sauces. 

4.  Do  not  remove  the  pink  skins  from 
rhubarb.  It  takes  away  from  the  flavor. 
Cut  through  it  with  a  sharp  knife. 

5.  Do  not  discard  the  cores  and  skins 


of    apples    when    making    apple    sauce. 
Save  and  make  into  jelly. 

GENERAL    DIRECTIONS    FOR 
COOKING   VEGETABLES 
V  EG  E  T  A  B  L  E  S    may    be    baked, 
steamed,  stewed  or  boiled. 

In  BAKING,  no  nutritive  material  is 
lost.  You  may  bake  potatoes,  sweet 
potatoes,  squash,  pumpkins,  beets,  young 
onions,  peas,  dried  beans  and  lentils. 

In  STEAMING  there  is  no  loss  of 
nutritive  material,  but  there  is  more  loss 
in  the  flavor  of  the  vegetable  than  in 
baking.  All  fresh  young  vegetables  may 
be  cooked  in  this  way. 

In  STEWING,  if  properly  done  there 
is  but  little  loss  of  nutritive  substances. 
The  vegetables  should  be  placed  in  just 
enough  boiling  water  to  prevent  them 
from  burning  while  cooking,  so  that  the 
liquid  left  at  the  end  of  the  cooking 
process  can  be  served  with  the  vege- 
table. 

In  BOILING,  there  is  a  great  waste 
of  nutritive  matter.  This  method  should 
only  be  used  in  the  cooking  of  very  old 
beets,  turnips  or  potatoes,  or  potatoes 
with  their  skins  on.  It  may  also  be 
used  for  strong  onions  or  cabbage,  as  it 
insures  a  mild  flavor. 

IN  STEWING  OR  BOILING,  AL- 
WAYS ADD  VEGETABLES  TO 
BOILING  WATER. 

SALT  (1  teaspoon  to  each  quart  of 
water)  may  be  added  to  the  water  in 
which  all  green  vegetables,  potatoes  or 
onions,  are  cooked.  Do  not  add  salt  to 
parsnips,  salsify,  carrots  or  turnips,  or 
other  underground  vegetables  until  after 
cooking.  Do  not  allow  vegetables  to 
boil  too  rapidly — it  dissipates  the  flavor 
and  spoils  the  color.  Cook  in  a  vessel 
without  a  cover. 

FRESH  VEGETABLES 

CREAMED  VEGETABLES

eggs  slightly  beaten,  one  teaspoon  salt, 
one-eighth  teaspoon  pepper,  one  and  one- 
half  tablespoons  melted  butter,  and  one 
pint  scalded  milk;  turn  into  a  buttered 
pudding  dish  and  bake  in  slow  oven  until 
firm.  , 

CUCUMBERS  A  LA  CREME 

6  Cucumbers,  Medium  Size 
1>/2  Cups  of  Cream  Sauce 

Pare  and  quarter  or  dice  the  cucum- 
bers. Remove  the  seeds  and  soak  for 
half  an  hout  or  until  crisp  in  cold  water. 
Put  into  saucepan  and  cover  with  boiling 
water,  add  teaspoon  of  salt;  boil  thirty 
minutes  or  until  tender.  Drain  and  add 
sauce,  allowing  it  to  cook  a  moment  or 
two  in  the  sauce.

Old  cucumbers  may  be  pared,  cut  in 
pieces,  cooked  until  soft  in  boiling  salted 
water,  drained,  mashed  and  seasoned  with 
butter,  salt,  and  pepper. 

FRIED  EGGPLANT 

Pare  and  slice  the  eggplant  as  de- 
sired and  dip  at  once  into  tgg  (pre- 
viously seasoned  with  salt  and  pepper) 
and  then  into  cornstarch,  seeing  to  it 
that  every  part  is  well  covered.  Fry  in 
deep  hot  fat  to  a  rich  brown.  Lay  on 
brown  paper  until  served,  to  absorb  any 
extra  grease.  Eggplant  cooked  in  this 
way  will  be  found  very  delicate  and 
digestible. 

SUMMER  SQUASH

Take  them  before  the  rind  or  seeds  be- 


come hard.  Wash  and  cut  in  small 
pieces.  Boil  in  clear  water  until  tender 
enough  to  mash;  place  in  a  colander  and 
drain. 

YOUNG  BEETS,  BOILED 

Beets 

Butter 

Salt  and  Pepper 

Wash  beets  very  clean,  but  neither 
scrape  or  cut  them.  Put  them  in  boiling 
water,  and  according  to  their  size  boil 
them  from  one  to  two  hours.  Skin 
when  done,  season  with  pepper,  salt  and 
a  little  butter.  Beets  are  very  nice  baked 
but  require  a  much  longer  time  to  cook. 

DEVILLED  TOMATOES 

3  Tomatoes 

Salt  and  Pepper 

Flour 

Butter  for  Sauteing 

4  Tablespoons  Butter 

2  Teaspoons  Powdered  Sugar 
1  Teaspoon  Mustard 
>4  Teaspoon  Salt 

Few  Grains  Cayenne 

Yolk  1  Hard  Boiled  Egg 

1  Egg 

2  Tablespoons  Vinegar 

Wipe,  peel,  and  cut  tomatoes  in  slices. 
Sprinkle  with  salt  and  pepper,  dredge 
with  rice  flour,  and  saute  in  butter.  Place 
on  a  hot  platter  and  pour  over  the  dress- 
ing made  by  creaming  the  butter,  adding 
dry  ingredients,  yolk  of  egg  rubbed  to  a 
paste,  egg  beaten  slightly,  and  vinegar, 
then  cooking  over  hot  water,  stirring 
constantly  until  it  thickens. 

SWEET  POTATOES  BOILED  IN 
HONEY 

Boil  6  sweet  potatoes  and  cut  each 
lengthwise  in  2  or  3  slices.  Pour  about 
l4  cup  honey  into  a  pan  until  the  bottom 
is  covered  about  %  inch  deep.  Let  this 
become  very  hot,  put  in  the  sweet 
potatoes,  and  cook  about  10  minutes. 
The  grape  sugar  in  the  honey  combined 
with  the  dextrin  in  the  sweet  potato 
gives  a  delicious  nutlikc  flavor  to  pota- 
toes cooked  in  this  manner.  The  honey 
must  be  hot  when  the  sweet  potatoes 
are  put  in,  as  too  long  cooking  destroys 
the  flavor.    Serve  with  butter  and  salt.

the  centers,  leaving  a  shell.  Season  the 
inside  of  each  onion  with  salt  and  pep- 
per. Chop  the  part  removed  and  add  to 
it  the  following  mixture,  the  proportion 
being  sufficient  to  fill  about  six  onions. 
Mix  together  the  chopped  onion  centers, 
one  cupful  cold  cooked  oats,  one-fourth 
cupful  grated  cheese,  half  a  cupful  dry 
crumbs  (cornmeal  breadcrumbs  are 
good),  one  teaspoonful  sage,  one  tea- 
spoonful  Worcestershire  sauce,  one  cup- 
ful white  sauce,  and  salt  and  pepper  to 
taste.  Stuff  the  onions,  sprinkle  the  top 
with  grated  cheese  or  oiled  crumbs  and 
bake  in  a  moderate  oven  half  an  hour. 
Serve  plain  or  with  white  sauce  poured 
over  them.  A  little  left-over  meat  or  fish 
may  be  used  in  place  of  the  crumbs  if 
on  hand. 

STUFFED  PEPPERS 

Contributed  by  Albers  Bros.  Milling 
Company. 

1  Tablespoon   Butter  Substitute  or  Drip- 

pings 

2  Tablespoons  Barley  Flour 
1  Cup  IVIill< 

1  Cup  Cooked  Fish 
1  Cup  Cooked   Hominy 

Salt  and  Pepper  to  Taste 
1  Teaspoon  Grated  Onion 
1  Tablespoon  Minced  Parsley 

Melt  fat,  stir  in  wholewheat  flour  and 
when  smooth  add  the  milk  gradually, 
stirring  constantly  until  thick.  Mix  to- 
gether the  balance  of  the  ingredients; 
stir  into  the  sauce  and  fill  the  green 
pepper  halves  from  which  seeds  have 
been  removed  and  which  have  been  par- 
boiled five  minutes.  Cover  the  top  with 
fine  crumbs  and  bits  of  butter  substitute; 
bake  in  a  moderate  oven  fifteen  minutes. 


POTATOES 

Always  serve  potatoes  with  meat. 
Never  serve  bread  and  potatoes. 

POTATOES  AS  A  VEGETABLE 
ECONOMICAL  POINTS  IN  PRE- 
PARING 

1.  Steam  potatoes  in  their  skins.  In 
this  way  you  will  save  one  pound  of 
potatoes  in  every  seven  pounds  you  pre- 
pare.    It  improves  their  flavor. 

2.  Much  nutriment  is  lost  when  pota- 
toes are  boiled.     Steam  or  bake  them. 

3.  Choose  potatoes  of  equal  size. 
Otherwise  some  will  be  over-cooked  and 
others  under-cooked. 


POTATOES  STEAMED  IN  THEIR 
SKINS 

Prepare  a  saucepan  of  boiling  water 
with  steamer  attached.  Scrub  the  pota- 
toes well.  Put  them  into  the  steamer  and 
cook  them  about  one-half  hour  or  until 
potatoes  are  soft  when  pierced  with  a 
fork.  Remove  steamer  from  the  pan. 
Shake  it  until  the  potatoes  are  dry,  and 
serve  in  their  skins,  or  peel,  if  desired. 

If  you  have  no  steamer,  use  a  basin, 
placed  in  a  saucepan  containing  boiling 
water.  In  this  case,  cook  five  or  six 
minutes  longer. 

BAKED  POTATOES— No.  1 

Scrub  potatoes  well,  dry  and  place  in  a. 
baking  tin.  Bake  in  a  moderate  oven 
from  one  to  two  hours,  according  to  size. 
Too  great  heat  will  cause  the  potatoes 
to  shrivel. 

Potatoes  are  improved  by  being 
steamed  for  about  twenty  minutes  before 
baking.  Large  potatoes  are  best  for 
baking. 

BAKED  POTATOES— No.  2 

Steam  potatoes  until  the  skins  peel  off 
easily.  Roughen  the  surface  with  a  fork 
and  sprinkle  with  a  little  flour  and  salt. 
Place  potatoes  in  a  pan  with  two  or 
three  tablespoon  of  dripping.  Baste 
often  and  cook  until  potatoes  are  brown 
and  tender. 

STUFFED  POTATOES 

Use  large  potatoes  of  uniform  size 
and  wash  and  scrub  them  well.  When 
baked,  cut  off  a  piece  lengthwise  and 
scoop  out  the  inside  of  the  potato. 
Mash  this  with  margarine  and  milk. 
Add  any  minced  cooked  meat  or  cooked 
flaked  fish,  anchovy  or  the  remains  of 
any  sauce,  such  as  egg  sauce,  shrimp 
sauce  or  parsley  sauce.  If  you  have  no 
sauce,  a  little  more  milk  and  margarine 
may  be  used.  Replace  the  mixture  in 
the  potato  and  cover  with  the  pieces 
which  have  been  previously  removed,  re- 
heat and  serve  hot. 

VARIATIONS 

1.  A  variation  of  this  is  to  line  the 
scooped-out  potato  with  the  mashed 
potato  mixture.  Then  break  a  fresh  egg 
carefully  into  the  center  and  bake  until 
just  set. 

2.  Another  variation  would  be  to  use 
a  fillet  of  cooked  fish  cooked  with  well- 
flavored  white  sauce  instead  of  an  egg.

After  washing  the  white  rice  in  cold 
water  until  the  water  clears,  using  one 
part  of  rice  to  one  and  three-fourths 
parts  of  cold  water  for  cooking,  bring- 
ing to  the  boiling  point  quickly,  then 
slow  fire  down  just  so  it  does  not  boil 
over,  cook  ten  minutes.  Then  turn  very 
low,  to  steam  twenty-five  minutes.  Do 
not  stir,  nor  add  more  water,  nor  un- 
cover. When  done  leave  in  kettle  until 
serving.  A  flat  bottom  black  iron 
porcelain-lined  heavy  kettle  is  preferred. 
Seasoning  of  any  kind  tends  to  destroy 
the  natural  sweetness  and  delicate  flavor. 
Rice  should  be  eaten  plain.

Preservation  of  Fruits  and  Vegetables 


PRESERVATION  OF  VEGETABLES 
CANNING  VEGETABLES 

1.  Make  a  false  bottom  to  fit  inside 
an  ordinary  wash-boiler.  This  bottom 
may  be  a  piece  of  heavy  wire  ^netting  or 
a  wooden  grating. 

2.  Prepare  the  vegetables  as  for  cook- 
ing and  in  convenient  form  for  placing 
in  the  cans.  Root  vegetables  should  be 
brushed  clean,  peeled  and  cut  into  con- 
venient slices  or  pieces.  Green  beans 
should  have  their  strings  removed  and 
then  be  cut  into  short  lengths.  Peas 
should  be  shelled.  Corn  should  be  cut 
off  the  cob.  Squash  should  be  peeled. 
Peppers  should  be  scalded  and  the  skins 
and  seeds  removed,  and  the  flesh  cut  up 
into  small  pieces.  Asparagus  should  be 
blanched  or  parboiled  by  dipping  into 
boiling  water  for  about  three  minutes 
immediately  before  canning.  Artichokes 
should  have  some  of  the  outside  bracts 
removed  and  the  hard  tip  cut  off  with  a 
sharp  knife. 

3.  The  prepared  vegetables  are  packed 
tight  into  the  jars  or  cans  which  arc 
then  completely  filled  with  brine  con- 
taining three  ounces  of  salt  to  a  gallon 
of  water.  Before  using,  this  brine  should 
be  acidified  with  lemon  juice  or  vinegar. 
For  corn  ten  fluid  ounces  (about  one  and 
one-half  teacups)  of  lemon  juice  should 
be  used  to  a  gallon  of  brine,  for  beans 
and  peas  seven  fluid  ounces  (about  one 
teacup),  and  for  other  vegetables  five 
fluid  ounces  (about  three-fourths  of  a  tea- 
cup). If  ordinary  vinegar  is  used,  about 
twice  these  quantities  are  necessary. 
The  acidified  brine  should  be  poured  hot 
onto  the  vegetables.  ^ 

4.  The  filled  cans  and  jars  are  then 
placed,  with  their  covers  in  place  but 
loose,  on  the  false  bottom  of  the  boiler. 
Hot  water  is  then  poured  into  the  boiler 
until  it  reaches  to  about  three-fourths  of 
the  height  of  the  jars.  A  second  tier  may 
be  placed  on  ^  rack  resting  on  the  first 
tier. 

5.  The  boiler  is  then  covered  and 
heated  to  boiling,  for  one  hour  for  most 
vegetables.  Pumpkins,  beans  and  corn 
require  two  hours. 

6.  After  this  heating  remove  and  seal 
quickly,  while  still  boiling  hot,  by 
screwing  down  the  tops  of  the  jars  or 
applying  the  wax  to  the  cans. 

This  is  a  thoroughly  safe  and  satisfac- 


tory way  of  preserving  vegetables.  With 
some  vegetables  the  acid  may  be  omitted, 
but  in  this  case  two  or  three  repeated 
heatings  are  necessary  and  this  lowers 
the  quality  of  the  food  to  some  extent.. 
Reheating  ^is  not  practicable  with  wax- 
top  cans. 

PRESERVATION  OF  FRUITS 

Sugar  is  scarce — so  scarce  in  fact  that 
it  is  no  longer  possible  to  buy  the  larger 
amount  for  canning,  that  was  allowed 
earlier  this  year. 

Fruits  are  so  necessary  to  health  that 
it  would  be  a  great  mistake  to  go  with- 
out them  entirely,  because  of  the  lack  of 
sugar.  They  should  be  canned  without 
sugar  rather  than  not  be  canned  at  alL 

Meet  this  situation  by  canning  fruits 
and  fruit  juices  without  sugar.  This  may 
be  successfully  done  by  the  "cold  pack 
method."  They  will  keep  as  well,  if  not 
better.  They  may  be  made  up  in 
sauces,  jellies  or  syrups,  as  they  are 
needed. 

Limit  the  amount  of  jellies  and  pre- 
serves you  use. 

In  making  these,  substitute  com 
syrup  for  a  part  of  the  sugar.  (Sec 
directions  below.) 

CANNING  FRUIT 

1.  Make  a  false  bottom  to  fit  inside 
an  ordinary  stove  wash-boiler.  This  bot- 
tom may  be  a  piece  of  heavy  wire  screen 
or  a  wooden  grating. 

2.  Prepare  the'  fruit  by  peelingj,  cor- 
ing, and  pitting  as  -needed. 

COLD-PACK  METHOD 

3.  Pack  the  fruit  as  prepared  directly 
into  the  jars  or  cans. 

4.  Complete  the  filling  of  the  cans 
with  hot  water,  sugar  syrup,  or  grape 
syrup.  Jars  should  be  warmed  first  to 
avoid  cracking. 

The  fruit  will  keep  equally  well  which- 
ever liquid  is  used.  The  addition  or  the 
amount  of  sugar  is  a  matter  of  taste.  It 
can  be  added  later  when  the  fruit  is 
used.  The  usual  sugar  syrup  for  apri- 
cots, peaches,  plums  and  berries  is  made 
by  dissolving  3^  pounds  of  sugar  in  a 
gallon  of  water.  For  apples,  pears, 
quinces,  prunes,  and  cherries  2^  pounds 
of  sugar  to  the  gallon  is  sufficient.     If 


122 


BRIDE'S     COOK    BOOK 


neutral  65*  grape  syrup  is  used,  from  5^ 
to  3y2  pounds  should  be  used  per  gallon 
of  water. 

5.  Place  the  full  cans  or  jars  with 
loose  covers  on  the  false  bottom  in  the 
wash  boiler,  adding  water  to  about  two- 
thirds  their  height.  With  cans  boiling 
water  is  best;  with  jars  it  should  be 
simply  warm.  A  second  tier  may  be 
placed  on  a  wooden  rack  resting  on  top 
of  the  first  tier. 

6.  Place  the  cover  on  the  boiler  and 
heat  to  boiling.  The  boiling  should  con- 
tinue for  twenty  minutes  for  apricots, 
free-stone  peaches,  plums,  berries,  apples 
and  cherries.  For  pears,  cling-stone 
peaches,  and  unripe  fruits,  thirty  minutes 
are  necessary  to  cook  the  fruit. 

7.  The  tops  of  the  jars  should  be 
screwed  down  tight  while  still  boiling 
hot  and  placed  upside  down  or  lying 
down  on  a  table  to  cool.  Wax-top  cans 
should  be  removed  quickly  and  sealed 
while  boiling  hot. 

HOT-PACK  METHOD 

By  this  method,  the  fruit  after  prepara- 
tion is  cooked  in  an  open  pot  with  the 
water  or  syrup.  When  cooked  suth- 
ciently  it  is  simply  ladled  while  still  boil- 
ing hot,  into  the  cans  or  jars,  which  are 
then  sealed  immediately.  Jars  must  be 
heated  by  placing  in  boiling  water  before 
being  filled. 

In  this  way  a  larger  quantity  of  solid 
fruit  can  be  packed  into  a  jar  or  can. 
The  liquid  remaining  in  the  cooking  pot 
may  be  used  to  cook  a  second  lot  of 
fruit. 


PRESERVATION  OF  FRUIT 
JUICES 

PRELIMINARY  TREATMENT  OF 
FRUIT 

Cut  and  crush  apples,  peel  oranges  and 
lemons,  stem  grapes,  use  berries  as  re- 
ceived.   Heat  slowly  to  140°.  Red  grapes 


should  stand  about  12  hours  after  heat- 
ing to  extract  color.  Use  a  thermometer. 
Do  not  heat  citrus  fruits. 

EXTRACTION  OF  JUICE 

The  juice  of  berries  and  soft  fruits  can 
be  squeezed  through  a  cloth  bag.  Apples, 
pears  and  most  grapes  require  a  small 
press.  Citrus  juices  are  best  extracted 
by  means  of  a  lemon  cone. 
CLEARING  THE  JUICE 

Strain  several  times  through  a  cloth 
bag.  Standing  for  12  hours  before 
straining  will  settle  some  of  the  sedi- 
ment. A  slight  cloudiness  does  not  in- 
jure the  flavor. 

FILLING  BOTTLES  AND  TYING 
CORKS 

Scald  bottles  and  fill  with  the  cleared 
juice  to  within  V/i  inches  of  the  mouth. 
Close  with  corks  which  have  been  boiled 
in  water  for  ten  minutes  and  tie  down 
corks  with  string.  Ordinary  preserving 
jars  may  also  be  used.  Seal  the  jars  after 
filling. 

STERILIZING 

Place  the  bottles  on  their  sides  or 
corks  down  in  a  boiler  with  enough 
water  to  cover  them.  A  screen  at  the 
bottom  of  the  boiler  will  prevent  break- 
ing. Heat  the  water  to  180°  F.  and  keep 
at  this  temperature  for  15  minutes. 
Higher  or  longer  heating  injures  the 
flavor. 

PARAFFINING  THE   CORKS 

Remove  the  bottles,  stand  on  end,  dry 
the  corks  with  a  towel  and  when  nearly 
cold  dip  the  ends  of  the  necks  of  the 
bottles  into  melted  paraffin.  Store  up- 
right in  a  cool  place.  . 

SEALING  WITH  CROWN  CAPS 

If  much  juice  is  to  be  made  crown 
caps  are  better  than  corks.  They  re- 
quire special  bottles  and  capping  ma- 
chine. The  bottles,  filled  with  warm 
juice,  are  capped  before  sterilizing.

How  to  Make  Jellies  and  Marmalades 


Just  how  best  to  use  corn  syrup  in 
preserving  and  jelly  making,  is  a  ques- 
tion frequently  asked.  Herein  is  the 
reason  for  its  use  as  well  as  the  best 
way  to  use  it  always  in  combination 
with  sugar. 

Its  use  makes  the  product,  whether 
preserves,  jelly,  marmalade  or  old- 
fashioned  jam,  much  finer  and  smoother 
in  texture,  of  far  fruitier  and  richer 
flavor,  as  well  as  serving  to  prevent  the 
hardening  of  the  fruit  and  the  crystaliza- 
tion  of  the  sugar.  In  other  words,  corn 
syrup  gives  a  better  product  with  better 
keeping  qualities. 

Here,  then,  is  a  distinct  addition  to  our 
preserving  methods.  It  has  been  prac- 
ticed in  Great  Britain  for  many  years 
and  England  and  Scotland  produce  the 
finest  preserves,  use  large  quantities  and 
serve  them  in  many  ways. 

The  secret  of  their  success  lies  in  the 
blending  of  corn  syrup  with  sugar — 
equal  weight  of  each  is  used — to  make 
a  ^  syrup. 

Some  fruits  make  better  jelly  than 
others;  this  because  of  the  pectin  in 
them. 

Currants,  sour  apples,  crab  apples, 
raspberries,  blackberries,  blueberries, 
partly  ripened  grapes  and  quinces  make 
good  jelly;  peaches,  pears,  strawberries 
and  cherries  are  deficient  in  certain  sub- 
stances necessary  to  produce  a  jelly  of 
good  consistency  and  flavor.  This  de- 
ficiency may  be  overcome,  however,  by 
combining  these  juices  with  those  that 
make  good  jelly. 

A  fruit  juice  that  is  good  for  making 
jelly  is  one  that  contains  pectin,  the  es- 
sential jelly-making  substance.  Juices 
extracted  b>r  cooking  are  apparently  far 
richer  in  this  substance  than  juices  ex- 
tracted from  the  raw  fruit.  To  determine 
whether  a  juice  contains  pectin,  one  or 
two  tablespoonsful  of  the  hot  juice 
should  be  mixed  thoroughly  with  an 
equal  volume  of  grain  alcohol  (90  to  95 
per  cent),  and  the  mixture  should  be 
cooled.  If  pectin  is  present,  a  gelatin- 
ous mass,  which  can  be  gathered  on  a 
spoon,  will  appear  in  the  liquid. 

MATERIALS  USED  OR  REQUIRED 

The   Fruit — Sorted,    mashed   and    ready 

for  putting  up. 
Com  Sjrrup — An  ample  supply  for  the 

season's  requirements.    It  keeps  per- 


fectly, does  not  crystalize;  handy  to 
have  on  hand. 
Sugar — Sufficient  for  your  needs  or  the 
allowance    that    is    allotted    to    you. 
For  some  purposes  brown  sugar  can 
be    substituted    for    granulated,    but 
the  latter  is  preferable. 
Utensils    Required  —  Preserving    kettle, 
enameled  preferred,  but  lacking  this 
aluminum  or  tin  can  be  substituted. 
Wooden   spoons — for   stirring   the 
mixture. 

Cotton  bag  for  straining  jelly. 
Jars — Glass,  plain  or  screw  top,  or 
stone  jars. 

Covers  and  rubbers  for  screw  top 
glass  jars. 

Paraffin  and  heavy  paper  for  cov- 
ering either  plain  glass  or  stone  jars. 
Labels — to  indicate  kind  of  fruit  in 
the  jar  and  date  of  putting  up. 
All   utensils   must  be   perfectly  clean. 
Jars  must  be  freshly  cleaned  and  scalded. 
Jelly  bags  sterilized. 

It  is  a  controversial  point  if  the  jam, 
jelly,  marmalade  or  preserves  should  be 
covered  v/hile  hot  or  left  to  become 
cold.  Both  courses  are  recommended  by 
experts.  In  days  gone  by  an  excellent 
product  was  made  and  left  until  cold, 
then  covered  with  tissije  paper  dipped 
in  brandy,  and  a  tightly  tied-down  cover 
of  white  paper  dipped  in  white  of  egg. 
It  must  always  be  stored  in  a  cool,  dry 
place. 

RULES  FOR   MAKING  JAMS,  JEL- 
LIES  OR  MARMALADES 

1.  Observe  the  strictest  cleanliness. 

2.  Use  fresh,  ripe  and  dry  fruit,  a  bit 
under-ripe  is  preferable. 

3.  Allow  generally  54  pound  of  sweet- 
ening to  each  pound  of  fruit. 

4.  Have  steady  but  bright  fire.  Boil 
continuously  and  fast,  skim  and  stir 
frequently. 

5.  Do  not  fill  the  preserving  kettle 
too  full. 

6.  A  good  test  to  ascertain  if  it  is 
cooked  sufficiently  is  to  allow  some 
juice  to  drop  from  the  spoon,  and  when 
it  sheets  off— ^r  sets — it  is  cooked 
enough.

— 1  gill  red  currant  juice  to  each  pound 

Carrot Enough  to  cover  carrot

Plum   None 

Quince  and  Apple 

..Water  enough  to  cover  bottom  of  pan 

Raspberry    None 

Strawberry    None 

Rhubarb 54  gill  to  1  pound 

As  a  rule,  the  procedure  is  as  follows, 
though  in  special  recipes  other  methods 
may  be  advised: 

Place  the  prepared  fruit  in  a  kettle 
and  simmer  for  a  few  minutes.  Add  the 
sugar  and  cook  gently  until  it  has  dis- 
solved. This  is  important,  for  if  al- 
lowed to  boil  before  it  is  dissolved  the 
jam  will  be  thin.  When  the  sugar  has 
dissolved,  add  the  corn  syrup — equal 
weight,  pound  for  pound  to  the  sugar — 
then  boil  fast.  This  again  is  important, 
as  otherwise  the  product,  whether  jam, 
jelly  or  marmalade,  will  not  be  of  good 
color. 

Stir  well  and  skim  with  a  silver  spoon. 
When  sugar  is  of  good  quality  and  clean 
fruit  is  used,  there  should  not  be  very 
much  scum. 

TIME 

The  length  of  time  for  boiling  will 
depends  on  the  kind  of  fruit  used,  as 
well  as  on  its  condition,  whether  wet, 
ripe  or  unripe.  Roughly,  forty  minutes 
is  the  time  from  when  the  fruit  com- 
mences to  boil,  but  after  about  twenty- 
five  minutes  it  is  wise  to  test  by  placing 
a  very  little  in  a  saucer.  If  it  sets,  it  is 
done;  if  you  think  it  is  done,  put  it  on 
a  cool  part  of  the  stove  while  you  wait 
for  test  saucer  to  cool.  Otherwise  it 
may  become  over-cooked. 

PRESERVING  IN  SYRUP 

Another  method,  and  many  jam  mak- 
ers prefer  this,  is  to  first  make  a  blended 
syrup  and  then  cook  the  fruit  in  it.  For 
example:  equal  weight  of  sugar  and  corn 
syrup;  add  half  a  pint  of  water  and  dis- 
solve it  by  gentle  heat.  Then  boil  for 
half  an  hour,  add  the  fruit  and  boil 
quickly  until  the  jam  jellies,  allowing  ^ 
pound  of  blended  syrup  to  each  pound 
of  fruit.

Peel  rhubarb  and  weigh  after  peefing; 
cut  in  pieces  about  two  inches  long  and 
put  in  a  preserving  kettle  with  the  syrup 
and  the  ginger,  which  must  be  bruised

HONEY  JELLY 

To  one  cup  of  fruit  juice  add  one  cup 
of  honey.  Boil  from  15  to  20  minutes.  It 
is  very  necessary  to  be  careful  in  the 
boiling,  otherwise  the  jelly  will  taste  of

prevent  burning.  If  the  vinegar  is  very 
strong,  use  part  water. 


Stem  and  wash  the  fruit,  put  in  a  pre- 
serving kettle  over  gentle  heat  till  the

Wash  and  pick  the  gooseberries.  Put 
in  large  pan  with  about  a  teacupful  of 
water,  just  enough  to  keep  them  from 
sticking;  stir  occasionally  and  cook  till 
quite  soft.  Rub  through  a  sieve,  measure 
and  weigh  the  pulp,  replace  in  a  clean 
pan  and  pour  the  syrup  over  it.  Boil 
about  forty  minutes  until  a  little  tried  in 
a  saucer  will  set  quite  firmly;  put  into 
small  pots  and  cover.  Conserves  in  which 
skin  and  seeds  are  rejected  are  most 
wholesome  for  children  as  a  spread. 

SPICED  APPLES 

Peel  the  apples  thinly  and  core.  Have

PREPARATION  OF  COFFEE 

In  the  preparation  of  coflfee  the  follow- 
ing rules  should  always  be  observed: 

1 — To  make  coffee  to  perfection,  you 
must  use  one  tablespoonful  of  good  cof- 
fee for  each  cup  and  one  for  the  pot. 

2 — The  water  must  be  fresh  drawn 
from  the  faucet  and  let  come  to  a  boil, 
because  water  that  has  once  been  boiled 
has  lost  a  large  amount  of  the  air  or 
oxygen  it  contains. 

3 — The  percolation  method  is  best; 
coffee,  preferably,  should  not  be  boiled, 
but  if  you  must  boil  it,  do  not  boil  it  over 
five  minutes  or  a  bitter  concoction  of 
tannin  results. 

4 — The  infusion  must  be  drunk  soon 
after  making  or  its  aroma  and  fine  flavor 
are  missed. 

5 — Whatever  pot  is  used,  it  must  be 
strictly  clean  and  scalded  with  hot  water 
so  that  it  is  thoroughly  heated  through- 
out. 

6 — To  obtain  the  full  aroma  and  flavor, 
the  coffee  must  be  freshly  roasted  and 
ground. 

LADIES  LUNCHEON  COFFEE 

Put  in  strainer  of  a  percolator,  a  heap- 
ing tablespoonful  of  finely  ground  coffee 
for  every  ordinary  size  cup  of  coffee, 
press  the  coffee  down  in  the  strainer 
slightly,  and  pour  on  your  required 
amount  of  boiling  water;  put  the  lid  on 
the  strainer  and  leave  the  water  to  filter 
through.  Add  to  coffee,  when  serving,  to 
two  parts  coffee,  one  part  hot  milk  and  a 
tablespoonful  of  whipped  cream,  which 
will  float  on  top  of  coffee,  adding  to  it  a 
rich  flavor  and  a  very  inviting  appear- 
ance. When  you  prepare  coffee  after  this 
recipe,  you  will  have  a  very  delicious  cof- 
fee, such  as  served  in  all  first-class  cafes 
of  Europe. 


poured  in  saucer  with  sugar  and  then  ig- 
nited, leaving  the  spirits  burn  out.  Some- 
times it  is  diluted  with  hot  water. 


FRENCH  DRIP  COFFEE 
NOIR" 


'CAFE 


For  every  one  ordinary  cup,  take  two 
tablespoonfuls  of  finely  ground  coffee, 
which  press  down  slightly  in  the  strainer, 
then  pour  on  your  boiling  hot  water,  put 
lid  on  strainer  and  leave  water  to  filter 
through.  When  the  water  is  all  filtered 
through,  you  have  "Cafe  Noir,"  a  very 
strong  black  coffee  which  is  usually 
drunk    with    brandy,    the    latter    being 


MILK  COFFEE  OR 
LAIT" 


'CAFE  AU 


Prepare  the  coffee  the  same  as  "Cafe 
Noir,"  with  a  little  chicory  added,  about 
three  ounces  chicory  to  the  pound  of  cof- 
fee, and  when  serving,  add  to  it  an  equal 
amount  of  hot  milk.  When  serving  "Cafe 
au  Lait"  in  the  French  cafes,  the  waiter 
brings  the  coffee  pot  in  one  hand  and  the 
vessel  containing  hot  milk  in  the  other 
and  pours  into  the  cup  from  both  vessels 
at  the  same  time.  These  recipes  are  fol- 
lowed in  all  the  prominent  cafes  in  Paris. 

COFFEE  BOILED 

Take  one  tablespoonful  medium  ground 
coffee  to  a  cup,  and  one  for  the  pot.  Draw 
fresh  water  from  the  faucet,  boil  in  kettle 
for  five  minutes,  pour  the  water  on  cof- 
fee in  pot  and  allow  it  to  steep  for  five 
minutes,  then  remove  the  grounds  from 
the  liquor,  and  you  can  use  it  several 
hours  afterwards. 

ICED  COFFEE 

1  Quart  Strong  Coffee 

%  Cup  Yellow  Corn  Syrup 
Cream  to  Make  Good  Color 
Serve  with  cracked  ice. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  CLARIFYING 
COFFEE 

Egg  shells  may  be  saved  and  used  for 
clearing  coffee.  Three  egg  shells  are  suf- 
ficient to  effect  clearing  where  one  cup 
of  brown  coffee  is  used,  an  egg  broken 
and  slightly  beaten  may  be  diluted  with  a 
little  cold  water  and  mixed  with  the  cof- 
fee.   This  gives  a  particularly  rich  flavor. 

HOW  TO  MAKE  TEA 

2  Teaspoons  Tea 

2  Cups  Boiling  Water 

Scald  an  Earthen  or  China  Teapot 

Put  in  tea,  and  pour  on  boiling  water. 
Let  stand  on  back  of  range  or  in  a  warm 
place  five  minutes.  Strain  and  serve  im- 
mediately, with  or  without  sugar  and 
milk.  Avoid  second  steeping  of  leaves 
with  addition  of  a  few  fresh  ones.  If  this 
is  done,  so  large  an  amount  of  tannin  is 
extracted  that  various  ills  arc  apt  to 
follow.

1  Pound  Grated   Maple  Sugar 

1  Cup  Thick,  Sweet  Cream 

Boil  the  sugar  and  cream  to  "soft  ball" 
stage;  beat  with  a  silver  fork  until  of  the 
consistency  of  very  thick  cream.  JPour 
into  greased  tins  and  when  cool,  cut  into 
squares.  A  cup  of  chopped  nuts  may  be 
added,  when  the  mixture  begins  to 
thicken.

To  one  quart  of  yellow  com  syrup 
which  has  been  boiled  for  thirty  minutes 
add  one-half  teaspoon  bicarbonate  of 
soda  which  has  been  rubbed  absolutely 
smooth.  Allow  to  boil,  stirring  con- 
stantly or  it  may  burn,  until  brittle  when 
tested  in  cold  water.  Remove  from  fire 
and  add  one  tablespoon  lemon  juice. 
When  cool  enough  to  handle,  pull  until 
a  light,  bright  yellow.  Twist  two  strands 
together  and  cut  into  desired  lengths. 


A  Splendid  substitute  for  sugar  sweets.      PEANUT  HONEY  CANDY 


Pop  the  dried  corn  in  a  regular  popper 
or  a  covered  iron  frying  pan,  shaking 
vigorously  and  taking  care  not  to  let  it 
burn.  A  cup  of  dried  corn  will  nlkke

mixed  with  a  little  salt  or  melted  butter 
and  salt. 

To  make  a  sweet  of  it,  combine  with 
syrup.  Boil  together  one  cup  corn 
syrup  and  one  tablespoon  vinegar  until

the  popped  corn  while  the  syrup  is  hot. 
This  amount  of  syrup  will  cover  three

for  you.

Use  equal  quantities  of  figs,  dates,  and 
nuts.  The  nuts  may  be  omitted  and 
prunes  or  raisins  added.  Put  through  a 
food  chopper.  Mix  well  and  roll  in  a

CALIFORNIA  PACKING  CORPORATION 


The  Conservation  Foods  of  Flavor 


What  You  Ought  to  Know  About  Canned  Foods  in  General 
and  DEL  MONTE  Products  in  Particular 

|0  USE  canned  food  products  intelligently,  economically  and  to  the 
best  advantage,  every  housewife  should  know  something  of  the 
processes  involved  in  their  commercial  production.  Canning  is  the 
method  by  which  food  is  preserved.  In  its  highest  development  it 
is  the  preservation  of  food  in  as  nearly  its  natural  condition  as 
possible,  or  in  the  condition  in  which  it  is  generally  used. 

This  is  accomplished  solely  through  the  use  of  that  great 
natural  sterilizing  agent — heat — and  heat  alone.  There  are  no 
artificial  preservatives  of  any  kind  needed  or  used  in  canning  fruits 
and  vegetables.  Each  product  is  processed,  hermetically  sealed  in  cans  and  then 
heated  to  the  temperature  and  for  the  time  required  to  secure  perfect  sterilization 
for  each  individual  variety.  This  simplicity  of  method  makes  canning  at  once 
the  safest,  cheapest  and  most  successful  way  to  keep  food  in  perfect  condition 
until  it  is  needed. 

In  principle  there  is  no  real  difference  between  home  and  commercial  canning. 
But  the  large  canner  has  in  reality  many  advantages  over  the  housewife,  all  of 
which  make  for  greater  certainty  of  results  and  uniformity  of  quality.  His  first- 
hand choice  of  raw  materials,  his  equipment  for  handling  them  in  large  quantities 
by  special  machinery,  his  accurate  devices  for  grading  as  to  size  and  quality,  his 
standardized  methods  of  processing,  canning  and  sterilizing,  as  well  as  his  exact- 
ing sanitary  precautions  in  the  handling  and  packing  of  each  product,  all  give 
him  an  immeasurable  advantage  over  the  woman  in  the  kitchen. 

Quality  in  canned  foods  really  begins  with  the  production  of  the  material — in 
the  proper  selection  of  variety  and  seed  and  in  exercising  a  supervision  and 
control  over  every  stage  in  the  growth,  cultivation,  harvest  and  delivery  of  the 
fresh  fruits  and  vegetables  to  the  canning  kitchens. 

The  raw  product  must  be  of  first  class  quality  in  every  respect,  uniform  in 
size  and  development,  and  at  just  the  proper  stage  of  ripeness  or  maturity,  to 
secure  the  best  results. 

And  after  it  is  delivered,  it  must  be  carefully  graded  both  for  quality  and 
size.  In  canning  eternal  vigilance  is  the  price  of  quality,  and  only  long  experience 
equips  men  to  select  that  which  is  suitable  and  reject  that  which  is  unfit. 

Why  DEL  MONTE  Quality  is  Highest  Quality 

The  DEL  MONTE  ideal  of  quality  in  canned  foods  traces  its  origin  to  the 
early  days  of  California. 

Long  before  the  transcontinental  railway  was  built — ^when  settlers  were  still 
making  their  way  slowly  across  the  country  in  prairie  schooners  or  sailing  'round 
the  Horn— the  founders  of  the  DEL  MONTE  business  were  already  in  California, 
canning  and  preserving  the  golden  harvests  of  its  most  fertile  valleys. 

They  were  the  first  in  the  field. 

They  began  as  pioneers — in  a  new  land  and  in  a  comparatively  new  industry 
— with  very  little  capital  but  with  a  big  ideal — an  ideal,  which,  backed  by  the 
determined  spirit  of  '49,  has  revolutionized  the  canning  business  and  given  the 
whole  world  better  things  to  eat. 

That  ideal  was  to  can  the  finest  fruits  and  vegetables  grown,  and  so  to  perfect 
the  processes  of  canning  that  the  finished  product  should  retain  its  full  natural 
flavor  and  freshness. 

They  believed  that  the  way  to  secure  the  finest  fruits  and  vegetables  was  to 
locate  their  canneries  in  those  sections  where  soil  and  climate  combined  to  produce 
Nature's  best.  And  they  believed  further  that,  to  preserve  that  natural  goodness 
at  its  best,  the  ripe  fruits  should  be  "packed  where  they  ripen  the  day  they 
are  picked." 

That  was  the  principle  upon  which  the  DEL  MONTE  business  was  started 
nearly  60  years  ago.  And  that  is  the  principle  upon  which  it  has  grown  and 
developed  until  today  the  California  Packing  Corporation  is  the  largest  canner 
of  fruits  and  vegetables  in  existence  and  DEL  MONTE  Quality  is  recognized 
the  world  over  as  the  standard  of  excellence  in  foods. 

A  Far  Search  for  DEL  MONTE  Flavor 

Fine  flavor  in  fruits  and  vegetables  is  what  "good  breeding"  is  in  people. 
One  is  just  as  much  a  matter  of  careful  cultivation  as  the  other.  Both  are 
developed  only  under  the  most  favorable  environment. 

3A 


Del  Monte  Canned  Fruits  and  Vegetables 


That  explains  why  DEL  MONTE'S  89  model  canneries  are  situated  in  the 
most  favored  spots  of  Nature — each  location  selected  for  its  special  fitness  to 
produce  certain  products  of  finer  flavor  and  finer  quality  than  can  be  grown  any- 
where else. 

It  explains  further  why  the  California  Packing  Corporation  owns  and  operates 
thousands  of  acres  of  the  most  highly  developed  orchards  and  gardens  in  these 
favored  sections — ^why  the  specialists  who  prepare  DEL  MONTE  Products  have 
spent  their  lives  in  improving  old  varieties  and  propagating  new  ones  to  perfect 
DEL  MONTE  Quality — why,  in  short,  they  devote  their  most  vigilant  attention 
to  every  stage  in  the  growth,  harvest  and  preparation  of  DEL  MONTE  Products, 
from  the  planting  of  the  seed  until  the  perfectly  flavored  fruits  and  vegetables 
are  ready  to  be  served  on  your  table. 

Please  do  not  confuse  the  delicious  flavor  of  DEL  MONTE  California  Canned 
Fruits  with  some  varieties  of  fresh  California  fruit,  which  are  necessarily  picked 
green  and  allowed  to  ripen  on  their  long  journey  to  market.  For  DEL  MONTE 
Fruits  are  always  matured  and  sun-ripened  on  the  tree.  And  they  retain  all  the 
fine  flavor  and  delicate  bouquet  that  kindest  Nature  can  impart,  because  they 
are  "packed  where  they  ripen  the  day  they  are  picked." 

That  is  why  you  will  find  DEL  MONTE  model  kitchens  in  the  richest  pine- 
apple-growing sections  of  far-off  Hawaii — in  the  fertile  California  delta  lands  of 
the  Sacramento  river  where  grows  the  world's  finest  asparagus — in  the  finest 
peach  orchards  of  the  San  Joaquin  valley — among  the  famous  apricot  and  prune 
orchards  of  the  Santa  Clara  valley — in  the  raisin  vineyards  of  Fresno — in  Alaska, 
from  whose  cold,  northern  waters  the  choicest  salmon  are  caught — as  well  as  in 
all  the  other  widely  scattered  locations  where  each  particular  variety  develops 
its  finest  flavor  and  form. 

And  it  is  the  same  with  DEL  MONTE  pears,  plums,  berries,  cherries,  grapes, 
beans,  peas,  tomatoes  and  all  the  other  delicious  varieties  included  in  the  DEL 
MONTE  line.  All  are  grown  where  they  attain  their  finest  flavors.  In  each  is 
that  delicious  flavor  preserved  intact. 

The  DEL  MONTE  Label  Your  Guarantee  of  Quality 

It  is  this  strict  adherence  to  an  ideal  established  years  ago,  this  painstaking 
attention  to  every  detail  in  the  preparation  of  the  long  line  of  DEL  MONTE 
Products,  that  make  the  red  DEL  MONTE  shield  on  the  green  can  your  absolute 
guarantee  of  finest  quality  in  canned  fruits,  vegetables  and  other  food  products. 

That  is  why  America's  millions  of  discriminating  women  are  careful  to 
specify  DEL  MONTE  when  they  order  canned  foods  from  their  grocers,  and  why 
so  many  grocers  take  pains  to  recommend  DEL  MONTE  to  their  customers 
who  want  the  best.

Measurements  and  Sizes  of  Containers 

'^^^^f^^:^!:(^=^^|EASUREMENTS  and  quantities  of  fruits  and  vegetables  have 
been  specified  herein  as  1  cup,  V2  cup,  etc.,  rather  than  1  can, 
V2  can,  etc.  It  might  be  well  to  say,  however,  that  in  preparing 
these  recipes  the  generally  recognized  standard  can  of  each 
particular  variety  has  been  used. 

In  most  fruits,  the  No.  2^/^  can  is  the  customary  size  found 
on  the  grocers'  shelves;  likewise,  for  such  vegetables  as  toma- 
toes, pumpkins,  etc.  Such  varieties  as  string  beans,  peas,  com, 
etc.,  are  ordinarily  and  commonly  sold  in  what  is  known  as  the 

No.  2  can.    With  proper  judgment  there  should  be  no  difficulty  in  preparing  these 

recipes  regardless  of  the  size  of  can  used  if  instructions  are  followed  as  to  the 

measurements  specified  in  the  recipes. 

A  word  or  two  on  the  size  of  containers,  however,  may  be  of  assistance  to 

the  housewife  in  purchasing  canned  products  intelligently. 

The  most  important  containers  in  which  DEL  MONTE  Canned  Fruits  are 

packed  are  No.  2^,  No.  2  and  No.  1  Tall  size  cans.

The  fruit  in  such  varieties  as  Apricots,  Peaches,  Pears  and  Plums  is  graded 
for  size,  the  large  fruit  being  packed  in  No.  2%  cans,  medium  size  fruit  in  No.  2, 
and  fruit  a  trifle  smaller  in  No.  1  Tall.  This  grading  for  size  does  not  affect  the 
quality  in  the  slightest  degree,  for,  as  a  matter  of  fact,  the  smaller  and  medium 
sized  fruit,  when  selected  for  quality  and  fully  tree-ripened,  as  DEL  MONTE  is 
packed,  is  just  as  delicious  as  the  larger  size  fruit  which  goes  into  No.  2^/^  cans. 

The  sizes  of  cans  most  customary  in  packing  vegetables  are  the  No.  2^^  and 
the  No.  2  round  cans.  Asparagus  is  largely  packed  in  square  cans,  the  long  spears 
in  No.  2^/^  and  the  short  spears  or  tips  in  the  No.  1  can.  There  are  various  i&tyles 
of  smaller  containers  used  for  such  varieties  as  Tomato  Sauce,  Green  Chile 
Peppers,  Pimientos,  etc.,  which  the  consumer  soon  becomes  acquainted  with  and 
accustomed  to,  when  purchasing  such  commodities. 

The  net  contents  will  always  be  found  specified  on  the  labels.  There  is  some 
variation,  according  to  the  variety  of  the  product,  but  generally  speaking  the 
No.  2^/^  round  can,  shown  above,  will  contain  from  27  to  30  ounces  net;  the  No.  2, 
from  18  to  20  ounces  and  the  No.  1  Tall  about  15  ounces. 

General  Directions 

Level  measurements  should  be  used  in  all  the  recipes  contained  herein.  Each 
recipe  is  large  enough  to  serve  six  moderate-sized  portions. 

The  sirup  from  DEL  MONTE  Canned  Fruits  may  be  used  as  sauce  for 
puddings,  fritters  and  pancakes;  it  is  delicious  in  fruit  punches  and  lemonade; 
it  may  be  substituted  for  the  liquid  in  frostings  and  icings  and  will  conserve  a 
portion  of  the  sugar;  it  may  be  frozen  for  a  sherbet,  or  heated  and  poured  over 
ice  cream  for  additional  flavor.  It  may  also  be  used  in  place  of  vinegar  in 
French  salad  dressing  to  be  served  on  a  fruit  salad. 

The  liquid  from  DEL  MONTE  Canned  Vegetables  should  never  be  thrown 
away.  It  may  be  used  as  the  basis  for  soups,  as  the  liquid  in  cream  or  white 
sauce,  and  it  will  give  additional  flavor  to  all  meat  and  vegetable  stews. 

As  this  liquid  is  rich  in  mineral  salts  it  should  always  be  utilized.  By  its 
use  with  the  vegetables  or  in  one  of  the  ways  mentioned  above  the  full  food  value 
of  the  vegetable  is  retained. 

All  bread  crusts  and  stale  pieces  of  bread  should  be  saved,  dried,  and  put 
through  the  meat  chopper  to  make  crumbs. 

Stiffly  beaten  egg  whites  should  be  combined  with  other  ingredients  by  fold- 
ing in  with  a  cutting  motion  and  not  a  stirring  motion.  The  air  which  has  been 
beaten  into  the  egg  white  is  thus  prevented  from  escaping. 

Gelatin  should  be  softened  in  a  small  amount  of  cold  water  before  it  is 
dissolved  in  boiling  water.  Use  in  the  proportion  of  V2  cup  of  cold  water  for  1 
envelope  of  gelatin. 

White  sauce  or  cream  sauce  should  be  smooth  and  creamy  and  free  from 
lumps.  To  prepare  it  so  that  it  meets  all  these  requirements  the  following  method 
has  been  found  to  be  uniformly  successful: 

Melt  the  fat,  or  heat  it,  if  a  liquid  fat  is  used.  Remove  from  the  fire  and 
add  the  dry  ingredients  which  consist  of  cornstarch  or  Victory  flour,  or  any  of 
the  substitute  flours,  and  the  seasonings.  When  these  are  thoroughly  mixed  with 
the  fat,  add  the  cold  liquid  which  may  be  milk  or  stock  or  water  or  a  combination 
of  two  or  of  the  three.  Return  to  the  fire  and  stir  constantly  until  the  boiling 
point  is  reached.  Then  if  it  is  not  to  be  used  at  once  put  in  a  double. boiler  to 
keep  hot  until  ready  to  serve.  The  following  proportions  may  be  used  for  the 
two  grades  of  sauce:

To  increase  the  quantity  a  stiffly  beaten  ^^^  white  may  be  folded  into  the  dressing 
just  before  it  is  served.

beat  until  thoroughly  mixed.  Then  add  4  tablespoons  of  olive  or  salad  oil  and, 
if  desired,  1  tablespoon  of  Worcestershire  sauce.  Mix  thoroughly  by  stirring  or 
beating.    French  dressing  should  always  be  prepared  just  before  it  is  served. 

Cheese  Dressing 
Add  2  tablespoons  of  Roquefort,  or  grated  dairy  cheese,  to  French  dressing. 

DEL  MONTE  Canned  Apricqts 

The  apricot  is  said  to  have  originated  in  Armenia.  Today  it  is  grown  to  a

DEL  MONTE  Canned  Asparagus 

DEL  MONTE  Asparagus  is  largely  grown  in  our  own  beds  in  the  rich  delta 
lands  of  the  Sacramento  River,  California,  the  richest  asparagus  producing  lands 
in  the  world.  Its  delicious  flavor  and  fragile  tenderness  are  preserved  by  im- 
mediate packing  in  the  model  DEL  MONTE  kitchens  located  at  the  beds.  Fresh 
asparagus  bought  in  the  open  market  is  never  as  good  as  DEL  MONTE,  as  it 
loses  a  part  of  its  flavor  and  toughens  during  transportation.  DEL  MONTE 
Asparagus  is  packed  in  various  sizes  and  styles  of  containers,  but  the  more 
commonly  sold  are  the  long  spears  packed  in  No.  2V^  square  cans  and  the  short 
spears,  or  tips,  in  the  No.  1  square  cans.  In  both  sizes,  the  asparagus  is  graded 
as  to  circumference  of  spear,  such  as  Giant,  Colossal,  Mammoth,  Large,  etc.,  the 
special  size  of  the  spear  being  specified  on  the  label.

This  map  shows  at  a  glance  the  far- 
reaching  influence  of  the  DEL  MONTE 
search  for  quality  and  flavor. 

Each  little  white  dot  on  the  map  repre- 
sents an  establishment  where  DEL  MONTE 
Products  are  packed.  Altogether  there 
are  89  of  them — each  one  located  in  some 
specially  favored  spot  of  the  bountiful 
Pacific  Coast,  where  soil  and  climate  and 
other  favoring  conditions  combine  to  yield 
certain  products  of  finer  flavor  and  finer 
quality  than  can  be  grown  anywhere  else. 

All  DEL  MONTE  fruits  and  vegetables 
are-  grown  from  finest  stock,  carefully 
tended  by  men  whose  life-long  experience 
has  been  spent  in  perfecting  the  varieties 
best  suited  for  canning.  All  are  "packed 
where  they  ripen  the  day  they  are  picked." 

That  is  why  DEL  MONTE  quality  is 
highest  quality — why  the  red  DEL  MONTE 
shield  is  your  guarantee  of  finest  flavor  in 
everything  that  bears  it. 

Ask    your    dealer    for    DEL    MONTE — the 

Conservation   Foods   of   Flavor.      They   will 

help     you     to     save     wheat,     meat,     sugar, 

i  fats    and   fuel,   and   give   you   foods 

^  that    every    one    enjoys.  ^__
